[TelePlay]

New forum members are very welcome and encouraged to take a guess. After all, there are no wrong guesses, just one lucky one. No one knows the winning bid on any auction until it ends. However, it is important to get your guess in before someone else grabs your guess.

Listed about one day ago ( with a thanks to tallguy58 for the heads ) in a 5 day auction with no reserve starting at $195.00 is a NOS in original box Northern Electric 3-slot pay phone with keys and coin box. They sure did shine when brand new. The seller provided a full array of internal and external photos. Within the first day, one bid was placed so this phone will sell. Right now, there are 32 people watching this payphone. More bids will be placed but being NOS, who best knows what this item will sell for when the auction ends?

NOTE:We will use a $3 gap rule between guesses to prevent crowding. As such, keep your guess at least $3 away from prior guesses for this contest. All guesses, original and a single allowed revised guess if needed, must be submitted at least 24 hours before the auction ends.

The seller listed it as an "New In Box Northern Electric 3-Slot Coin Payphone Telephone Never Installed 1972" with the item condition as "New" and " - - - " and with the auction listing description saying simply "1972 New In Box Northern Electric 3-Slot Coin Payphone Telephone Never Installed!
