    I would post them on Craigs List. I know I have replaced three cell phones in the last month using Craigs List. I finally admitted defeat with my flip phone and got a cell phone smarter than myself. I can honestly say my brain is in my pants.

    working cell phones

    I probably could for the working ones but not the ones that need refurbished and I just don't like dealing with the people I have met from craigslist I was hoping I could find someone to ship then to and get paid I have seen a few buyback places online but I don't know if they are legit or if they are like the cash for gold sites

    I hate dealing with CL people too. LOTS of deadbeats. Lots. One guys been d*cking me around for a week about coming to check out my car im selling. Always has an excuse why he cant come.
    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

    Depending on the phone, Gazelle is fast and reliable. They are pretty selective but for the right phone you can do well. The biggest problem with them is that most of what they buy is Apple products.

    Thiere is someone on the forum that buys working cellphones for more than scrap. RELECTROCYCLE, you will find all his contact info in the buyers section but you will have to go through many pages to find him, you might put his user name in the search box and find him. He will pay for shipping. Hope this helps.
