    You can also contact a telecom supplier and see if they will buy them. I have had some success with this.

    What brand of phone are they? I had a whole phone system that I had to scrap becasue tit was way too old. but you might also try craigslist, in the next closest large metro. Most biz pones sell for about $25-40 each. That's way more than scrap. If the boards inside are High Quality, you might see $2.00 a phone in scrap.

    well i dont have a ebay or paypal account, and im not a fan of selling somthing and not being face to face and getting cash handed to me (hence why i love being a scrapper ) but i might just have to bundle them together and have somone post it for me. anything is a profit since i got em for free. and they are older but i looked up all up on ebay and they are going for around 30 a piece. but i got another thing ill post itup later i gotta get the model number off it and show yal the board out of one, but it went for like 170 a piece on ebay and i have 5 lol

    you might find an ebay assistant (or whatever they're called) near you, who would do the listing,selling and shipping, but their percentage might be kinda high, you'd just have to find one and ask. You might even find em through the ebay page for your location, i think they mostly register

    I had 60+ cisco VOIP business phones at one point in a computer clean out of a financial sector of a pharmacy company. I used craigs list and got 2 grand for them as a bulk item.
    Scavenge around and find out the model numbers and ebay prices they are going for. that should give you a ball park price range.

    Good luck!
