    pda palm pilots

    So what do you guys do with them?

    I just ended up with a $10 auction lot that had 14 Palm pilots of varying models, along with 3 office phones and some misc.

    I haven't looked them up on eBay yet. Is there resale value on them? Sell as cell phones for ewaste?

    I don't get too many of them but when I do I break them down and pull the boards, some are mid grade and some are cell phone grade.

    I know the HP 100LX, HP 200LX, and HP 1000CX are very popular right now and are easy to sell on eBay. The only Palm Pilots that seem to do well are new (NOS) or like-new in their original packaging.

    Blackberries have a nice resale, just gotta find the right place to sell them. I resell a lot of phones an rarely go with eBay. Those palms look old an beat up. I agree with breaking them down. Or sell whole to a buyer. One I break down I save the board to be refined.

    God luck with it Lp, can always give cl a try. That's how we sold the batch of older BlackBerry s

    sell'm to someone, either for a tablet/kindle or nintendo ds. They should work with all three.

    Ebay/cl/whatever place you use to sell online/etc.

    It's what I'd do. Actually I'd keep some for myself, an sell the rest. Saves my fire screen from getting all smudged up.

    Ha ha. Glad that worked out! Kindle fire is sweet. So simple, yet does all I need it to do. An I can store ton of music on it. /glances at the current 988 song playlist.

    I got a tune for every mood, an piece of scrap. Ha!

    The others might do well to tablet owners, or again to folks who have the nintendo ds, or whatever the current handheld model it by them. Makes playing the games much easier. Wife used to have one. Kept losing them. Can only how many a 9 year old would go thru.
