Yeah that is a no brainer I would prob go over that 1000 mark.......Ewasted current prices I think cell phones over 6.00 lb plus he buys the batteries at around 1.00/lb
500lb at 6/lb is $3000 if my math is not totally off.....Figure 25-35 pounds of plastic backs you would have to remove and mabye 50 lbs of batteries so your still looking at around $2400 worth just in scrap.............I suck at math but that is my take on it so I would prob go to $1500
