I think the seller had some guts to start it there with no reserve!
I think Doug will be the only bidder!

$9.99

Not with you and Me both watching it he won't!

$763.00 plus shipping. It is nice but I wouldn't pay that much,.

My bid was cancelled and the auction ended!!! Someone made an offer he couldn't refuse or realized it was $9.99 not $999.99....Doug

darn! I was thinking about making a ridiculous offer to the seller but I decided against it! Guess I should have done it!

Harry...it was a beautiful phone, no doubt. But a reproduction is still a reproduction and not real. I have a beautiful example from Ray, a great clear 302. It is outstanding and I love it, but it is still a repro, even though it is real inside, it is a repro. Money is better spent on the real deal in my humble opinion....Doug

Is that the first of our "auctions" that was cancelled mid stream?

Harry: You should still contact the seller if you wish you had made an offer. It may not be sold, he just might have begun to panic about the low start.

We have a policy for unmet reserves, but not one for cancelled auctions.  There's really no way to determine a winner in such a case, I think.  We ran into this once before, and we just moved on to another auction. :(
