My first GSM-900 phone was a Nokia 8110 purchased on eBay from a fellow who bought unclaimed stuff from airline lost & found auctions. It came with no charger and a dead battery. It was sold "as is" and when I was able to put enough charge on the battery to know that it both worked and was not SIM locked I knew I had a winner. That's still one of my favorite phones.
