Did someone buy this phone from eBay recently?

The seller eBay handle is duz493ny

See picture below ...

Well, two years ago, I bought the phone on the second picture, from the SAME seller!!! (as they used to say in an old TV show: Believe it or not)

He may have found some rich ole' vicorian mansion that was color coordinated and they removed all their  moss green phones around the same time.......... I was aware of this auction, but it got too rich for my blood @ the end.

The magic dust arrived. Once you get a pristine Mediterranean Blue 500 with a mushroom lamp, and a curly gray cord for $40, any other phone over $100 seems excessively pricey!  ;) ;D ;D ;D

I confess--the straight handset cord was too much temptation!! :D :D  It arrived today.

Stephen:

Someone from the forum showed me the listing last night and mentioned that probably you had won the auction. The picture reminded me of one I bought two years ago. I checked in my photo archives (I save the web pages of everything I buy from ebay) and Bingo! Same seller.  :o :o :o My comment last night was: "So it is true, lightning may hit the same spot twice."

Please, post some pictures. Perhaps we can converse on them when yours is ready.

Congrats Stephen, you have the market cornered now on grey corded moss green 500's! :D
