Auction 8 - Western Electric 302 in blue thermoplastic

[JimH]

I am frankly amazed that this phone is up to 710 dollars at the moment.  For one low quality picture, with some possible serious condition problems, and a seller who is unable or unwilling to post more pics and give more info that price astounds me. 

Well I literally live a half mile from Royal Oak.  If I was buying it, I'd go over there with my cashier's check and not give it up until I saw the phone, of course.  I guess other people don't have that luxury.  I'm just not ready to buy the "Holy Grail" set just yet.

I know it's late in the game, but I'll say $1172.00.
This posted 4 hours plus before end of auction, it's now at $710.00

It went for $1009 bucks.  Maybe the buyer knows something we don't, but a lot of us certainly tried to get info and ran into the wall, so to speak.  If it's the Real McCoy it was a decent buy, but if not...

Given the high prices the whole, correct phone brings, I suppose a case could easily be made for the case alone being worth $1000.  I just hope the buyer is aware of the potential problem, and isn't lulled by the though that he got a real bargain.  But a scary thought has entered my mind... What if it turns out to be ALL black, painted in 302 blue.  In that case, he got totally rooked.

So we're calling this one with McHeath as the winner.  Congratulations, McHeath!
