My cell phone buyer lowered his price a bit.

My cell phone buyer lowered his price a bit, but i can not pay less for my phones. I pay 50¢ ea and I averaged getting $1.00 each from my buyer.

So I am experimenting selling on feeBay. I have an opening bid request of $1.50 ea. 55 phones for $82.50 and I am giving "free" shipping. That extra 50¢ each will cover all the fees and priority mail.

I only want to make about the same as I made before. But selling 10 lbs at a time is a lot of extra work. Right now I have 800 - 1000 phones in my shed stinking up the place.

So how much gold could someone realistically expect to recover from this many phones?

I don't get into that end of the recycling chain. People must be getting something worthwhile. People are always buying.

From some calculations I've seen on the web, the amount of gold per cell phone ran from 75 cents to one dollar. I was just curious to know how close those numbers were with reality. Thanks!
