    Cell Phone Question

    Wondering if this deal was worth it. I picked up 10 older cell phones, 3 have chargers, at the local Flea Market today for $20. Some of them work but they're all older models. One did have a Mini-SD in it but only 3 were new enough to accept SD cards. My question is, what are all the e-scrappers out there paying per cell phone?

    Check into selling them for parts on Ebay. Price per phone is about $1-2 per pound here, but i often pay $2-$5 bucks each if I think I can flip them on to resell

    Check with Relectrocycle, you'll find them in the buyers section, he pays 2.00-200.00. His e-mail is Jack@relectrocycle.com. Send him some pictures and he'll send you a quote and he pays shipping.
