    Cell Phone question

    Well, I went to another auction today. I bought $68 worth of stuff and am very pleased with what I got. I bought 40 Nextel I335 cell phones, all of which have batteries and sim cards. My question is what is the best thing to do with them to make the most OR if there is any escrap buyers on here who buys them. Thanks you for all the help yall will give.

    There is several escrap buyers, but heck, if they all have batteries, and sim cards, sell them on an auction site or even on craigslist.

    See what other similar phones are selling for, and sell yours a little cheaper. That is what I do with all of my appliances!

    Well, finally got around to selling all them cell phones. Put them on ebay 2 days ago and a guy messaged me that night so last night we made a deal. I sold 39 Motorola I335 and 1 I265 for $340 plus $50 shipping. After ebay and paypal fees I'm looking at about a $290 profit. Only paid $5 for all of them.
