I am looking forward to find a red AE40 with chrome trims for $25.

I thought of you Jorge when I saw one at a garage sale recently but I couldn't get them to go any lower than $35. One day I will find you a red 40 for $25!

My wish list for the immediate future is for a soft yellow 500 as the one I should have had been stolen :'(

For myself,

     I would have to say my next dream phone is a functional 3-slot payphone.

     Pavlov? That name rings a bell.... ;)

Best regards!

What is your dream phone that you are hoping for?

Doug

Kinda like asking me what my favorite song or movie is, there are many that are favorites, but just off the top of my head, a S/C 1211 aka "Tombstone" phone.  Would be even better if I got a good one for dirt cheap.
The idea that a four-year degree is the only path to worthwhile knowledge is insane.

I am glad to know that you are a man of unwavering principles. Less than $25 it is Ok to buy; more than that: never.

There is always a phone I want, even with a full house. This is more a dream phone, that is just a dream of finding. A Strowger Stick is just a dream for me, I am a realist....but dreams can come true. Part of the dream is that I can afford it, IF I find it....Doug

I knew this would be fun!

Maybe the next question would be, which is the phone that has caused you the most trouble/what you want to get rid of?

Doug ... I have to pass. At least $24 more than my limit.
