"The cost of sending mobile phones overseas is not the problem.  There are very strict rules about posting them because of the batteries.You cannot send them through Australia Post and using a dedicated courier service is very expensive.0"

oh yes I remember that now .. batteries in devices in the post etc can start fires and iphone batteries are difficult to remove and replace etc .. oh well probably a market that won't develop well then or the batteries will need to be removed or perhaps people will post anyway and we will see lots of fires .. will remember to not start collecting iphones for resale then .. no doubt that market will take off now that I have decided that .. lol ..

ON a side note and to save me searching etc as trust you have knowledge on this: .. do you know if Lithium batteries or batteries in general can be sent via auspost at all?
