I will say I got burned good about 5 years ago, When I purchased my Peking Red 302. I paid a shameful $900.00 for it. At the time, that was only slightly high. Now I see them go for half that. Or less.

I see them for about $400 or a little more.  I paid $409 for the Pekin Red I have and thought at the time I was getting a good deal.  Dan, you'll just have to enjoy yours twice as much as you would have enjoyed it had you paid $400 for it.

I looked everywhere but I've never found this option on this forum...thanks for the information if you have it. ;)..I prefer to read and respond to posts that interest me and not those that I do not want.

In looking for this topic, I found a few others related to this phone

and I'm sure there are others. These are from 2011 and 2012. This phone has been re-listed quite a few times over the past 4 or 5 years, right Harry?

My nickname for this phone, which almost seems like a neighbor I've seen it so much, is the "wart" phone. For two reasons. That dusty rose mushroom cap stands out like a wart on a face, and like a wart this phone won't go away.

Yes, quite a few times! Apparently he does not need the money so he is just going to leave it until some sucker comes along!

I saw this posted on eBay today as well- someone with a very great amount of disposable income, along with not being too sophisticated, would be the likely purchaser IMO.

He's dropped the price from $890 to about $747.  He may get it down to $500 and get it sold by the end of the decade!
