    you can brake them down and make around 9 to 10...or sell whole for around 5 to 6 a pound.

    I once sold 355 grams of cell boards on eBay for $45.

    Can't count on that kind of bizarre fortune every day, though.

    Lately, I have been holding onto phones.....legend has it that a man who lives near the Ocean will buy them by the pound, sort them, and then send you a bonus payout for phones that have greater than scrap value. Sounds like a whole lotta win to me!
