That reserve was a lot lower than I would have expected.

The reserve was met somewhere between $500 and $750 - so, we will have a winner in the contest early Thursday morning.

Yeah, that was very low, apparently he did not realize what he had! Putting that reserve on was a waste of money!

sold for way too cheap!  $1625

So, I'm hearing that the wood phone prices are falling.   What does the forum think?

[Sargeguy]

Manhattan three boxers are not worth nearly as much as ABT versions.

Well, that didn't go as many thought it would. Eight bidders took a shot at the phone but in the end it was a relatively new eBay phone buyer, n***e ( 5 ), who ended up on top and took the phone home for $1,625.00.

Thanks again to all who played. As always, there is only one way to get on the winner's board or move up a rung - you have to play to win.
