When in doubt, buy in bulk: 36 pounds of cellphones

If you like buying your gadgets in bulk, then maybe you should check out police lot 0100-121391; it's kind of like a trip to the pay-per-pound thift store. But with cellphones. And like a pay-per-pound thift store, you shouldn't really be counting on getting the best of quality, but hey, there's a passable amount of Ericsson, LG, Motorola, Nokia,
Samsung, and Sanyo phones to work with here. Caveat emptor: "Phone [sic] may have been listed as STOLEN on carrier's records." In other words, you could very well buy these phones and use them only to have them re-confiscated, and see them re-auctioned at a later date. But seriously, how good would that recursion be?

P.S. – Yes, we know the lot already sold. Final total: $427.50. That's about $11.86 per pound of phone; not bad, if you ask us. The RAZR V3, by comparison, will set you back about $2388.06 per pound.
