Approx 23 minutes from listing start to listing end.

If I had of seen it in time I would have bought it to add to my collection. Hope it went into a collection not a dealer.

I hope that it will not be turned into a lamp or "altered art".  The seller obviously had no idea of what they were selling.

What a find!  Please don't destroy it by turning it into a stupid lamp.  If you don't want it as a phone, sell it to me.

Have no fear, I promise I will not turn it into a lamp , re-purpose it or make it into any kind of "found object" art project .

Yes, I bought it - "E1" is one of my saved searches on eBay - I almost passed this by, as the listing thumbnail just looked like an overpriced? manual B1, fortunately I followed my rule of "when in doubt, check it out" .

God is good.

Another one today.  Not as good of a bargain, but still a good deal.  I saw it as a new listing, but when I clicked on it, it was no longer available.  It went really fast.
