Is it possible to sell a network locked S10
The short answer is yes, as it is possible to sell any network-tied phone. Locked handsets are the ones where a code doesn’t allow other UK mobile networks to function with it. You can sell handsets with carrier locks, and it is legal to do so. The only thing here is you need a buyer that agrees to pay for such a device. If you are trying to sell phones individually, you might come across people who would remain hesitant in buying a handset that works only on one network. If they want to use it with other carriers, they will have to unlock it. It will be a hassle for them, and they might not want to do that.
