Is there a market for a used T68i camera?

Cingular sent me the T68i cameraphone attachment, which I do not need.
I tried to sell it on eBay, but there doesn't appear to be a market
for it. Did Cingular give these away to everyone? Thanks!

There ia no market because camera phones suck. The picture quality is poor
due to small file size. Any one that wants quality pics buys a real camera.

Right, except people keep buying camera phones so I guess that makes you
wrong.

The latest Sony/Ericsson models have the camera built in (t610, t616, and
some others). The last model I know of that uses the attachment was the
t226 which has not sold in large numbers that I am aware of. The t300
included the camera, not sure about the t306.

You might try again listing it as for the t68, t300, t226, etc and see if
that helps. Anyone with a t68 that doesn't already have a camera probably
doesn't want one. As you found Cingular gave you one for the t68 and they
have a $50 rebate to get one "free" with the t226. I don't know if the t306
has one included, but anyone that wants one could get the t226 instead.

People like camera phones when the camera is included, but as "Rock" said
they kind of suck so it's not something people are desperate for as an
add-on.

Maybe they're buyig the camera phones for the phone and not the camera.
I wouldn't waste a penny on the camera part of any camera phone - the
pics suck, they've always sucked, and they always will suck until the
camera portion costs as much (performs) as a real camera. But if that
happens, folks couldn't afford to send the pics anywhere anyway, so what
would be the point? Oh, wait, hyping a camera phone is another
marketing gimmick to sell more airtime! It doesn't matter to the
carrier that the pics suck.
