This was discussed on the lists. Apparently it sold for a best offer of $150.00!

I don't know. This is the post from the list:

"I just checked the completed listing and it shows it was bought with
best offer for $150.00! Someone got a great deal, they have sold others
phones and have others listed."

please excuse my question but which is the list dicussed here? How comes that the eBay page does not show the real sales price? I used to think eBay reacts quite allergic if people sell outside the platform, once an item is listed.
Obviously 150.00 still is a super deal for the buyer.

Cman...the lists are the TCI and ATCA.

thanks Harry.....twas a great deal....Doug

Screenshot of link.
Exactly the condition I like to find them in. No breaks but in need of TLC.   :)
