REAL.

Text says it is a Forest Green. AE made a medium green for 40's and 50's that is quite similar to the newer "Jade Green" for 80's and 90's. However, the pictures don't look anything like that color on my computer. Looks like the gray/green painted 202 color to me. Probably the sellers camera?

Dennis:

Thank you for fixing that up. In my home screen, which is smaller than the one in my office, the reply button was too far out to the right to be able to click it.

And the phone ... it is the real thing, as Terry said. One like this went ballistic about a year or two ago.

I didn't notice the rest of the page when I first clicked the link and I see the link is now a tinyURL.

Only needed to be shortened up to this. Cut everything after the 12 digit ebaY number.

Don't worry about it only being $81 Kenny. $1500 is just around the corner.

Terry, Kenny:

I found some photos from the one that sold on ebay two years ago. It sold for $2300. Taking in consideration the recession, I think it will sell for about the same.

Jorge: The color of the AE40 you posted looks quite a bit closer to what it should look like (on my computer).

Terry:

I agree. It could be that the seller's phone has been exposed to a lot of sunlight.

HuH? Was it 1337 before your last post changed it to 1338? You might need glasses Kenny!  ???

Maybe you were looking at it in a mirror?

It currently says 1338.
