Did a little sorting today and seems a lot of the Higher end phones are organ donors ,Screens and Batteries , still got a few boxes to go through had to stop "the walleye were calling!!!"...Gona try to finish up tomorrow and see.. been removing batteries as we go I got a connection with a local company that recycles batteries so im golden on that part get premium price for them no middle man..Not in to the EBay thing I know I might miss out on a few bucks but time is money and it takes time to list, package and ship,. Then there's a chance of some idiot trying to dispute a transaction that just makes it not worth my while. I found out a long time ago the key to a successful business is turning revenue with the least amount of energy in the shortest time possible with as few people involved as necessary. EBay breaks all those rules..

This may be true regarding Ebay but I have turned to many $5 dollar scrap purchases into hundreds via Ebay.........It is scary at first but once you get the hang of it the money is good and the whole process is addicting as well as frustrating LOL

I agree. It is easier to just sell everything as scrap and avoid resale.

I find that a combination of national sales and local sales it the sweet spot, dont be afraid to ship nationwide to get the best prices. Odds are your going to be shipping your scrap nationwide reguardless.
