    That he only listed 5 models, an call the rest old an generic makes me wonder how many of 120 are "old and generic".

    Edit - Thanks to this post tho I just saw another deal on there, will have to pass it on to my partner.

    I get $5/kg here for mobile phones with the batteries removed. With no batteries it takes roughly 16 phones to make a kilo. With the current bid at $56 I'd probably walk away...
    High on life. And glue.

    Almost 2.00 per phone. Too much if your going to sell as scrap but if you where to referbish them might still be a good deal.

    Mine seem to be newer on average, not sure if that is better or worse, I'm up over 13# batteries removed.
