Lithium-Ion Batteries

I am in the hoarding process currently and have not sold , most buyers I think pay about a dollar a pound.
I rarely pay for them , if I see junk phones at flea markets I will offer them .25 a piece or try to take the lot off there hands if they have a bunch just laying there without chargers ,mostly the old outdated flip style types. I see in the buyer and sellers forum that many buyers pay diff rates for whole phones , lith ion batt or just clean boards. What will make or break you is finding the highest buyer within the shortest distance . Weigh them up and plan out the cheapest way for transport wether you drive or ship .
