I'd say an older round button is around $80-100, while a square is 50-75. I have never seen a ten button so I have no idea what that would run.

I'd say 40-50 easy , but It would have been nice to have been an older  WE. I am still kicking myself for passing up a clear Ericophon at the flea market two years ago for $75. He used it to show me how to jump wire my chirper because he could point out the wiring inside from the clear outside.

I think what Kenny is describing is one of the newer Asian novelty phones that were sold in stores under the Bell South name, rather than a genuine Bell phone.  If that's the case, then it's probably worth the $3.99, but not much more.

That was my thoughts. Is it a WE trimline? If it is I will take it for $40.00!

I am not really on the forum currently. Maybe within the week.

I did find this thread today..

Kenny's  Trimline style is only worth a few bucks.
The auction that Harry posted was a good price on an early clear trimline.
The most current trimline from had damage and sold for around $40.00 delivered.
