    Help in pricing a blackberry bold 9900 and Atrix 2 smart phone

    A job I did the other day, left me with 2 cell phones. I checked ebay, and the atrix 2.

    I checked ebay, and the atrix 2 goes anywhere from $100 to $200.

    The Blackerry Bold 9900 goes easily for $200+ as well.

    Now is my dilemma with both, and why I need help on figuring out the right price to sell as.


    1. The atrix 2 doesn't have a back, battery, power cord, or sim card.

    2. The blackberry bold 9900 doesn't have a battery, sim card, or power cord.

    Granted the sim cards don't matter at all. But the other stuff does.

    Just not sure what prices I should set them at. Both phones are in GREAT condition!

    Below is some pictures

    9.99 opening bid and let the bidders decide, its best not to over complicate in most instances unless your talking about big ticket items, but these are phones with missing items, or basically scrap, some of the buyers here pay top dollar for smart phones

    That is definitely a way to do it. I know I have seen a lot of auctions that have began at .99 and went really high!

    If they have no batteries how do you know they are in great condition? Did you put a battery in them and test them? If not I don't think your going to get top $$$ for them. Good luck!!

    The phones themselves are in great condition..like brand new great. The lady I got everything from, took real good care of her stuff.

    I don't plan to make a lot of money with them, which is why I am trying to get an idea on what to offer them as well.

    I am thinking of just coming up with a fixed buy it now with a offer option.

    Well so far, the atrix 2 is going for $47 with the rest of the week remaining.

    I started out at $35 with $5 for S&H, and the phone is now up to $42.

    The blackberry 9000 is not having any luck,.

    UPDATE:

    The blackberry bold sold for $52 including shipping.

    The Atrix 2 originally sold for $60 including shipping, but the buyer messaged me claiming his kid bought the phone as he walked away from the PC. So I canceled the transaction, and relisted, and re sold the phone for $102 including the shipping.

    Not bad. All together, made $454 dollars on this junk removal job. $300 the same day, and the rest a week, and 2 weeks later. Not bad.
