We buy Used Cell Phones WITH Batteries

We are actively buying used Cell Phones to be repaired and refurbished in foreign countries. There is still a market there for the low end GSM phones, so we will be able to pay higher prices for mixed lots of cell phones with or without backs and batteries. No need to sort your phones. We will pay the same rate with and without backs and batteries. We are looking to build relationships and set up routine purchases. Please let us know if you have phones to sell.

Thanks

Thank you all for your responses and feedback. We are rather new to the industry and trying to assess where we need to be predicated on Market conditions.

Spring Rock Recycling: Recycle Your Cell Phones

Here is the web site. I would not ship anything blindly to this company without checking the price list. Phones can range from $6.00# down to $2.25# depending on type you send in.

To the OP, it will benefit you to post a price list here as well as discuss the different type of phones you accept. Seems as though there are a few "conditions" that you have on material you pay for.

Thanks for the interest. Spring Rock Recycling used cell phone pricing as of 11/29/14 is now listed on the original post.

Brasscatcher. yes, we are not really looking for "scrap" phones. We are looking for phones that can be repaired and reused in foreign countries. But this also lets us pay a lot more than scrap for phones that most people would consider as scrap. We are trying to let SMF members make some additional money on their phones. Also, notice that we pay with or without batteries. As batteries can be 30% or more of the weight, our prices can be 30% or more higher than no battery pricing.

Sounds pretty good. I will email you a list.
