Do you mean the housing is not WE?

I think I got this one for ~$51, apparently NOS in plastic wrap. I don't know if that speaks for value, though.

Genuine new WE base, matching dates, and housing is probably by Cortelco, although unmarked.

Base: 2500DMG 81236
Feet: like new condition
Housing: Lucite blue, no molded logo
Handset: Lucite blue, no molded logo
Cord: modular blue coiled flat cord
Dial: 35Y3D 8-81
Ringer: II 75 II-81 (red ink stamp)
Polarity guard: 840364202 8-81
Line cord: none (modular)
Condition: exquisite

I've seen a few go for $50-$100 on ebay. But there is only 2 that pop up on the completed listings so its not a good sample size.

I like that blue 2500, it'd be nice to have one like it someday, but the prices people want, nah, ain't going to happen for me!!
