cell phones

[earlfromclay]

is there a top purchase price for non-working cell phones? i'm following an auction with over 500 phones. what would you all pay?

Take a look at some buyer price lists on the forum and through the Internet.

Cell phones without batteries sell for anywhere from $4.50-$6 per pound depending on the buyer and the current market price for gold and other PM's.

There is also the possibility of selling them as breaking up the lot and selling them as non-working for parts if they are the right kind and up to date phones.

Scrap Lap, I am in a similar situation with a good # of cell phones including blackberries and trying to determine a reasonable bid price.

How much would you personally pay for cell phones (per pound) with the battery?

that article illustrates a great way to estimate the value of a resource or potential industry.

Before coming up with any price know exactly what you are bidding on(how many lbs) and what your buyer will pay. Then add up all your expenses such as time fuel and shipping to your buyer. Then you will know what you can pay and what the profit will be

Yeah, but it's timely... I'm pondering a good # to bid on this lot:
