One of the newest phones we've featured in our contest is this pink, hardwired Trimline.  These seem to be on the low end of the collectibility scale, but the fact that it's hardwired, has a matching plug, and is in an ever-popular color should make this one more collectible than most.  The phone is rotary, and appears to be in rather nice condition, with the exception of a somewhat stretched handset cord.

What will this one go for?  Get your guesses in before the auction's final day, and you could be the winner of this week's contest!

Hmmm.  I just won one for $8.99.  This one has a pink plug and is a lot cleaner than mine.  In fact, I am the first bidder on this one as well.  I will say that the plug alone adds about $15 to the price, so I'll go crazy and say $25!!!

Shipping is a little high, so I'm going only $21.

Ugghh. Pepto Bismol pink....
Other than that, you all are missing one very important thing. Look closely at the bottom. It's NOT hard wired. At least the wire going into the phone is modular.
Looks like early modular. As I remember, weren't these plugs slightly larger?
Looks original, though.
Hmmmm.
It's got nice, long wires, and, looks to be in nausingatingly nice shape.
God, I hate pink!
Well, my guess would be 78.87.
