Ever see this?

At the Chichi market there were 3 stands with piles of cell phones on them. Each stand had a guy taking cell phones completely apart and placing all of the parts on an adjacent table. People were picking up individual parts and buying them.

Never saw anything like it, but the two Brits on our shuttle said this is very common in markets in London and Paris. Would not have any idea which part to buy and how to install it if my phone had problems.

Assume it is an old Mayan custom.

Now you know where all the stolen cell phones go. Big market of those phones existed in Guat City but the Government put an end to it.

Brits told me that Pakki vendors sell cell phone pieces in London and Paris. Would never have any idea which part does what. I'm still trying to talk to the dead with my cell phone. Positive it is on my plan.
