I bought a Verizon Note 2 with defective motherboard off Craigslist. The seller showed me a letter
from Samsung service that said it would cost $359 to replace the motherboard. (parts + labor)
So she decided to sell it, in case somebody has a use for the battery and other parts. She listed
it for $99. I haggled with her over 3 days and bought it for $39. The battery and stylus are still in
perfect working condition, so I figured it was worth it.

My question is... what can I do with the rest of the phone?

I think you could sell off the screen/digitzer.

If you're going to make offers, take it to the marketplace or do so through PM, not on thread.

My thread is not intended to solicit offers to buy/sell/trade.
(unless someone offers me $10,000 for it) :D

I can't believe how easy it was to take the Note 2 apart. I followed
the online instructions and videos. It only took me 5 minutes and
everything came out. :)

Lol when you've only spent $39 for the device all the fear is taken out so its to tear it apart. If you spent 600 taken it apart is exponentially nerve wrecking
