    I was wondering the same thing and had been meaning to ask. I know Devo (in Canada I think) buys PDA's as cell phones. I am curious about Ipods as well.

    Pick a buyer from the forum and send them a private message........If that buyer does not want them go on to the next buyer until you get the answer you want

    Email or pm your buyer and ask him. I use ewasted and he responds to my questions. I feel certain the other buyers on the forum will be glad to answer your questions. Mike

    It would be nice if a buyer would respond to this question on this thread so that all the sellers could get this information.

    As a buyer of cell phones, NO you should not put PDAs in with cell phones. We do not get nearly as much for PDAs as we do for cell phones. If a load of 20 pounds has one or two PDAs, we will not say anything. However, if there are a significant portion of PDAs in with the phones, we probably will say something. Assuming you want a long term business relationship, try to keep them out.

    iPods are pretty much the same as PDAs. A few are not an issue.

    Digital cameras are another item that often finds their way into cell phone lots. We do not really want those either.

    So what if anything are whole PDAs worth? What is the board itself worth?
