Team mobile cell phone Cheap!! – $30


I am selling a team mobile cell phone. you could use this as a replacement when yours breaks or lose it. i am only asking $30 big ones. call xxx-xxx-xxxx or email me at redsox[xxxx]@yahoo.com

That’s right, Sparky. All of the promotional material, all of the commercials with Catherine Zeta-Jones, even the phone itself that you took a picture of — ALL of them have the name of the company wrong, and you are the only one who has gotten it right. It’s Team Mobile. Right.

Never mind the fact that this phone is an old enough model that I can’t find any reference to it on the T-Mobile page OR the Samsung website, and that you want $30 for it. Or that you refer to dollars as “big ones”. (Or that you’re in New Jersey and have a Red Sox email address. With Yahoo.)

Go Team Mobile!

Edited because I forgot to upload the pictures. D’oh!

    Hahahaha, “Team Mobile.” Awesome. If there was an actually carrier by that name I would sign up for them just because of the name.

    I think that’s the carrier for Team America World Police (New Jersey Unit). Go Sox!

    Reminds me of incorrect song lyrics….

    B-b-b-baby I’m a cat (Benny and the Jets)
    She don’t like she don’t like croquet (Cocaine)
    Scuse me while I kiss this guy (kiss the sky, Purple Haze).

    Doofus.

    I like how you can use this Team Mobile phone as a replacement for a broken phone or you could lose it. All for just $30 big ones.

    That’s what you get from a Red Sox fan! I wonder if while watching a game said fan yells, “Go T!”

    Hey! I resent that! I was so embarrassed at first I was like “Oh, dear GOD, this person is from my neighborhood.” Then you said they were in Jersey. Maybe Jersey Red Sox fans are a little less… smart… than we consider ourselves here in Boston. Hey we are one of the most-educated cities in the country. Though, I just remembered that gift card math post I sent in over the holidays, so I will shut up now….

    Maybe when he said “$30 big ones” he actually meant .30 big ones and really thirty cents would be pretty fair for that if you needed it. Ummm.

    This phone is fucking ancient. Maybe it’s an antique? Surely someone would pay $30 for an antique! I think there’s one just like it (not used, of course) in the Smithsonian.

    My Horizon phone shouldn’t be too far away, value wise. Maybe we could trade. Isn’t that what teams usually do?

      I’m much too attached to my blueberry to trade it.
