My estimate:  one zillion dollars or $3155, whichever is closer

If you are bidding on this, Caveat Emptor! Buyer beware..... Notice that this seller has NO feedback; nothing; very strange.

I do not think I will be the winning bidder!  I have been in contact with the seller.  She says that she is a recent retiree, and that she is selling on eBay at the encouragement of her husband, who is an established seller. She says that she bought the phone in a box of stuff at an estate sale.  I have encouraged her to post more pictures.
