    That's awesome! I got a bunch I want to send you. I think I'm going to wait for you to build some feedback from other members first.

    It takes anywhere from 4 to 8 phones to make a pound, depends on the model.

    glad I checked this before I made my bid on 375 phones here locally as I planned on selling them to you skip.......LOL......I had the same deal on low grade boards once.......Scrap yard was paying .40/lb for all boards until he realized I was bringing him low grade by the truck load!!!

    Just want to clarify... Your paying $1.25 for floppy drive boards not cd/dvd drive boards correct? Can they be broken in half to fit more in a box?

    Yes, floppy drive boards that are brown on one side, green on the other. And no, it's best if they're not broken. If they're broken I would still pay for the part with the gold connector and IC's but the rest is junk.

    Just an FYI to everyone, a good option for shipping is the USPS Regional B boxes, you just have to sign up for an account online and if you print your own label at home it's even cheaper. That or sign up for a FedEx business account, they're rates are decent too and they give you another 5% discount if you use an American Express card to pay and print labels online.

    Hey Jeff, I am local to you and have roughly 500lbs of whole phones (minus back/battery) and 100lbs of bare cell boards available with more to come in the near future. I just signed up for an account hoping to send you a PM but the page keeps giving me an error. Could you possibly drop me a line with your contact info? Thanks much! Jason

    I just PM'ed the buyer asking for some good contact info but he has not been around since June so we'll see if he checks his messages. Best that I can do. Mike

    Not to speak for Jeff, but I haven't seen him in several months. Not sure if he is still in the game.
