I had one of these when I was a kid.  I was excited to finally see one on eBay, but dismayed to see what it was going for.  It sold for $81.00.

It's just a piece of thin plastic originally sold as a fun room decoration for a few bucks.

Anyone have any idea why this sold for so much on eBay?

So not likely bought by a toy collector if it is really a decoration.

The seller almost seems to think it is a cover to put over a real payphone that happens to be Out of Order. Hopefully it wasn't bought by someone who thinks it was a Telco item.....or even a real payphone!
