    Hey Barry, if you're using photobucket, click on the photo in photobucket first to make it larger and take up the whole screen, and then copy the image link over onto here. That should help your image be easier to see...

    I would guess that if you removed the metal casing it would go for above motherboard grade...probably high grade

    I just found this article. Now wondering if i should save the 500 complete pagers I have and not scrap. Think these will be worth anymore than scrap someday?

    I'd imagine you would get at least cell phone board price but I'm not a buyer of them.

    I get pagers pretty regularly. A well known buyer on this board gives me cell board price for them.

    hmm.. Enoch43, That may be a decent situation already then.

    But I wonder what the time involved is with breaking down VS. selling them by pound as they sit, untouched/unopened?
    How many must be broken down, before getting a pound of pager boards? (and how much plastic weight gets removed? 2/3rds plastic, I would guess)

    Absolutecomm......what is ballpark for Motorola Advisor Gold and similar pagers? I have stripped hundreds of them. The supply is getting smaller, but I may have more soon.
