I just got done cleaning out one of my drawers (long time request). And along with some "interesting stuff" D: i found a bunch of old cell phones. Now before I go throw them out I want them to have a second chance...they should earn me some cash! So please tell me if you know their values... 1) Red motorola razr v3m, Sprint. Excellent condition 2) LG xenon, ATT. Broken screen (was my old phone) 3) iPhone 2g, ATT. Excellent condition, unlocked on OS 2(?) 8GB Thank you

The iPhone should be worth a bit. Maybe $50? The Razor is worth less than that. Not really sure about an exact price. And I doubt anyone would want a cell phone with a broken screen, practically worthless unless you want to sell to a refurbishing company, maybe $5

Your opinion of excellent doesn't tell us anything. Give me pictures and I'll price them for you.

[/quote] Excellent as in after 2 years of use, the phone has no scratches except one little one on the back. No chipping of paint onthe back or on the bezel. The screen is in perfect condtion with no dead pixels. Shows BARELY any signs of use. Runs great on 2.2.1 unlocked ready for t-mobile. *that was the description I used on a craigslist list afew months ago to sell it,but it didnt sell.

I heard on the news yesterday that some kid started trading this old cellphone on like Craigslist or something, and after like 11 transactions, he ended up with a 2000 Porche :0

Traded a Jeep for the Porche. Insane. He traded his old phone for a iPhone, who goes for a deal like that?

I see. What's the capacity of the iPhone? #Edit: Whoops. Didn't read that. I'll buy it off you for $30.

[quote] reaps : check ebay oakley rippin u off [/quote] Not really - maybe $15. The ones that are sold on eBay are the ripoffs. Advertising that it's perfect and unlocked. The fact that this one is unlocked means nothing and doesn't change the value. The fact that it's been used decreases the value. Learn how to merchant, dude.

Wow, you found an iPhone? Was not expecting that at all... But anyway, the one with the broken screen will probably not sell much, depending on the size of the crack and such.

[/quote] The fact that the iPhone has a touch screen, and the ability to offer different apps with different uses with simple calling and texting. It's at least $50. Good luck trying to find one for $15, scammer.
