    I'll assume you have checked with people that buy office/phone equipment? I just sold an old Lucent phone system on ebay for over $1k and shipped it to Colorado.

    It all depends on the brand of phones. Take each different one apart. Some have a crappy set of low grade boards, some have medium/high grade and some even have lead.

    Polycom,Cisco and Nortel I have sold recently. Depending on condition and brand I have sold them for between $5 and $75 each. The high end ones I can get $3.50# for the boards and most will have a nice piece of lead on the handset.
