Two of the phones Comtempra mentioned are still for sale.  The drab yellow phone and the red Princess with the black cord haven't sold yet.  The rest have already sold.

Just a note to say I took about a half hour of time to add 8 photos, one each in 8 of the above posts, so that if someone several years from now searches for something and finds this topic, they will be able to see what is being discussed, unlike this following link to a post from 5 years ago with interesting text, no pictures and two (2) dead links. There were 8 replies to this original topic post discussing the phones in the two links but to what end. Without a picture, these topics become useless in the future.

Back then, the forum was new and a lot of these long term problems (dead link and links to photos at other web sites) were not known, or expected. We know better now, and anyone searching the forum for specific information will have first hand experience with this problem.

But this topic is from only 2 months ago. So, to help members far into the future who use this forum as a resource for information, please post, along with a link, at least one picture, the price and the cost of shipping for the good of the forum's long term posterity. If you can do it, a screen capture of the auction, as posted above, is just fine.

Thank you. Stepping down from my soap box now.

Yes, it has been a busy day for you John! Also, it is so much easier to read a post where a link doesnt have to be opened to see what is being discussed.

We all need to remember this simple request when posting. John has spent a lot more time than just a half hour in this topic adding pictures to all of our posts over the last year or more.

I check this thread now and then to see if a WE5302 shows up.  It took me nearly a month to sell mine on eBay in the auction format.  Even at that, it didn't bring very much.  It brought only $8.99 which was the starting bid!

[Doug Rose]

Andre...it might have been the pictures. Its hard to bid on something you can see clearly. You must do something with your camera, the pictures are so blurry, it is hard to look at them. I am not trying to be critical, but your pictures are constantly poor. Good luck....Doug

I'm working on it.  I just ordered a tripod that TelePlay suggested.

I won the phone that Christian posted. $11.99, plus $12.00 shipping. The Line cord receptacle was cracked, so I replaced that, plus replaced the handset cord. Cleaned it up. It looks like new. My Mom absolutely loves it. I have one question inside there was the item shown below, what is it for ?

I cannot make it out clearly in the photo, but it looks like a Dracon spade tip connector. Pop it open with a small screwdriver and you may find two spade tips on the wires.

Russ;
I didn't open it, but that looks right.
