Old-Butt Phones

One of my stores has some old school phones. I'm talking like Motorola Zack Morris phones, Star-Techs, that kind of stuff. There's probably eighty to a hundred of these things. There's nothing we could possibly do with them. But I hate that they're taking up space.

Any suggestions?

When the local HS/ Women's shelter/ Girl Scouts is doing a cell phone donation drive, dump them on them. They love that old technology.

That commercial was hilarious. I like their new one where one cowboy slaps the other silly and draws the gun on him before the other guy can blink. They have great adds... their service? Eh.😁

It's like the guys who drive the big expensive shiny cars....they are making up for "other things" sprint has slap happy commercials to make up for their not so happy service. Speaking of commercials...what's with the new Cingy adds, that chick keeps bowing. Cingular trying to form a cult?

🤣 I don't think I've seen that one. I do like their Go Phone add with the mom and the little girl. I must say that it's pretty clever.

2 options come to mind:

a.) part them out and charge customers for parts and service to fix them.

b.) www.cashmyusedphone.com
