I want to get my Mom a push button, plain Jane beige 2500 WE phone, with a volume adjustable handset. Have you seen the prices people are asking for these dogs.
Does anyone one have one they would like to get rid of but can't ?

The prices are almost free, but that shipping though.

I'm not sure that the pictures show this as having a volume adjustable handset. Anyone with better eyes?

The handsets come up separately pretty often, I think.

I do have a volume adjust one. It is the beige, not ivory.


Interested

Whoops, I didn't read that he wanted a volume-adjustable handset. :-[

Kento k;
Yes if you could tell me what you want for it. Maybe a couple photos. I'm looking for a clean set if possible.

oops, I meant I only had the handset part. So if you have a regular beige 2500 base, you could combine it with my handset. In other words, I have a G6 handset. So it would only be useful to you if you have a base already.
