The seller has been trying to sell that phone for months & months. It only takes one sucker to make their day. Seems to me that they bought that phone from a Forum member with the intention of flipping it for a fast buck. So far it hasn't flipped, only flopped.

Harry....didn't you sell this originally on eBay?....Doug

[HarrySmith]

Yes, he bought it from me. I cant find the auction but I think I sold it for around $145.00 or so. He has come down as he started listing it at $1200.00. He also bought my 5302 mushroom creation.

If it is the same one you sold on ebaY, it was discussed here on the forum previously as well.

Correct, here is the thread: http://www.classicrotaryphones.com/forum/index.php?topic=3956.0  EDIT: Dead link - 12/27/13

Has the link to my auction, if it still works. It also refers to an earlier discussion on it!

[AE_Collector]

I think that you better buy it back Stub! It has too much history here on the forum to let someone else get it for the paltry amount of just under $1000!

AGAIN?!? I thought the seller would learn his lesson, NOBODY WANTS $900 FOR A MUSHROOM PHONE!!!

[WesternElectricBen]

That is rough, I doubt they paid the 22.00 that I paid for mine, or he would actually decrease the price..

[TelePlay]

No, Ben, he paid about $145 for it from HarrySmith . . .

Dang..

You would think he would try selling it at 500, but I guess not.. Well, Harry must not feel too bad, at least the person didn't flip it..

[HarrySmith]

I was considering buying it back from him
He also has a Black one he puts up now & then which he was aking the same price for

[Contempra]

It is not tomorrow the day before that I will buy a phone even rare, at this price. No, never even... a hundred dollars is a reasonable price but not at $800. that is my own opinion.
