    Question Old Cell Phones

    I have a xerox box filled with these phones:



    The model number are - QualComm QCP-820, QualComm QCP-860, Nextel i370XL. My question is, should I sell these along with more recent scrap flip phones or are they more valuable due to their size and age? Is there more Gold in them? What would be a good price?

    Thanks!

    you'll be best off to ask your buyer about prices. as far as I know, they are all worth the same per pound

    If you have time break them down. Older phones have bigger boards with more PM's. It will profit you slightly more, but time is money. I save all my old brick phones and large phones like that to break down later. A few buyers on the forum do give different pricing for different types of phones. But a lot of buyers will just give you the same price as other cell phones. You can send pictures to buyers and try and get a higher price since you have some weight.
