I have a ton, well I should say my boyfriend has a ton of old phone cords for cell phones. He must have 2 dozen of them, from all sorts of phones, some older models, some newew ones. He doesnt have the phones to go with them, just the cords.
I was going to see about listing them on ebay along with my other stuff, but there are SO many phone chargers on ebay that I really didn't think I'd get any good hits, unless I sold way cheap, then maybe.
Anyway, is there somewhere that buys them back or something? This is alot of phone charger cords here and I need to get rid of them, but hoping to find a way to make some chump change in the process... should I just ebay and see what happens. My next option is craigs list--- maybe I could go thru the wanted section to see if anyone is searching for the specific cords that I have.

eBay is an option as long as you know which model phones they work for. I know tons of people that are always looking for chargers for older phones. Another option is to check with women's shelters; people donate their used phones to them [without service and after they have been wiped of personal information] and there is always a chance that they could use them to charge the phones. FreeCycle is also a place to check but I am like 99% sure anything that you list there has to be completely free.

I was considering ebay but there are so many on there that I don't think I would have too much luck. I think I'm going to resort to craigslist first, and possibly ebid-- since that's both free to list.
Thanks for your help!
If that doesnt work, then I'll see about a women's shelter, before I give them to goodwill. Thanks!
