On the cell phone questions...I find cell phones very worth it, but I'm also in a position where I can get them on a regularly basis. What to pay depends on what you intend to do with them. Some fix them up( so they pay more per phone) for resale, some sell'm straight as parts, some break it down to board, an sell them to buyers on here.
I can't help you on what to pay if I don't know what your doing with them. A buck each is to much if your just scrapping them. Look at the buyer prices find out what they are paying per lb, an go from there. Depending on age of phone, etc it takes only a few to make a pound of the older ones, an more then a few with the newer styles. I will say when I buy phones unless they are something I know goes fast, I assume all I'll make is scrap value, an that will be my bottom line when it comes to buying.
Do some research on phones here in the archives, an decide what you want to do with them. There are many options when it comes to phones, just like computers. Scrap it, get the cash an run, or invest a little time in knowing how to fix the newer models(Screeens/boards) for resale. I can tell you I'm quite happy with both results, I do both.
Good luck, an on the other stuff..you'll just have to dig through past threads as the where to find items threads have been asked many times, an lots of good answers in those old posts.
