Are they worth the money?

..... · May 22, 2015, 06:18:28 PM

I have a chance to buy 3 Princess phones and a AE M50 and a AE M40 plus some other spare parts for $300.00 CDN. He wanted $200.00 CDN for the 3 Princesses, I offered $100.00 CDN, he come back with $150.00 CDN. He wanted $225.00 CDN for the AE's, I offered $140.00 CDN he came back with $175.00 CDN. Now he is willing to take $300.00 CDN plus extra parts and a 500 phone. What do you think I should pay and look out for?

Those amounts seem high to me.

Yes, he is asking too much. I would expect the phones in better condition from a private seller for that price.

I don't know what the princess phones are worth, but I wouldn't go over $80-$100 for both AE phones. The wall phone with the handset with the chrome rings - it's not a good picture, but the cap seems to be missing from the receiver end.

We went back and forth with no compromise. He would not go any lower than $300.00. We both walked away with no deal.
