Auction 41 - Automatic Electric 80 in Red

[McHeath]

$35 clams.  It's pretty, but I'm guessing that demand will be low. 

[Tonyrotary]

$80.00

[HobieSport]

What the heck...I'll go with an even $100. I never win these things anyway...

[Dan]

I'll go $87.

OK AE experts. I got a red one like this for $40. No bell inside . I added one.  Mine has a six hole earpiece.

The feet are the same on this one as mine. I know mine is soft tenite plastic. Do you guys think this one is soft?  I'm saying ABS handset and a tenite housing. What do you think?

Dan:
I think it is hard plastic. Seven holes on the speaker cap, extra hole on the mike cap, and double slots on the housing. Strain relief on the handset cord.

So double slots on the housing mean ABS plastic? Thanks for the tip Jorge. I am catching the AE80 bug too, but less info about these is on the net.

$80 is already chosen.  Have another guess?

[mienaichizu]

The auction is over and HobieSport has taken the prize!  The phone went for $122.50.  This is a perfect example of what can happen if an auction contains lots of excellent photos of a shiny object. Congratulations, Matt!

whoooo hoooooo hobie

[Greg G.]

I was only $3.06 off, but I was over.  

[HobieSport]

I know the rule about going over, but still, as far as I'm concerned, Briny won, because he was much closer. So there, and I shall not accept this glory.

[McHeath]

Gee, never underestimate the power of a shiny red phone that was well photographed.  Congrads Hobie.
