   Can I raise my bid?

Okay, K1WI is going Ten Trillion? Not sure if that is more or less than Sarge's One Zillion....

Okay, so it sold for about $500 less than this 1879 Coffin Phone which ended last November at $9,999.

What's up with that, a saturated market with only two such phones?

The one that just sold was missing the $500 crank.

I guess the market IS saturated now! But who cares...I WON! I was $33 below the final price. First time I have ever won an Auction Contest and it is a phone that I know nothing about...figures!

For the record, it seems r***r sniped out w***w on the $9,999 phone and w***w sniped out r***r on the $9,468 phone if I'm reading the bid listing correct, what ever that means, if anything.

It means these guys are flush with cash! I know it's a part of history, but this really did nothing for me. I work on Milk St right around the corner from Court St in Boston. 10K for a telephone boggles the mind. I know the picture phone is going higher, but this is just crazy....Doug
