Shame they had to take such "good" photos...Shows all the scratches and nicks....

Dim lighting and a coat of Skin so soft is how you move phones, baby.

I'm not sure what those comments add, if anything, to this contest or the hobby in general.

I am thinking about my 12 year old grand daughter. Always wants attention, whether it is good or bad...just wants attention drawn to her. Yes....It makes me think. No name as you can't be too careful...just waiting

Argh! Kicks self. I shouldn't have changed my guess. $ went down. Looks like someone retracted a bid?

Well done Jim.

I thought so too but looking at the bids, eBay does not state a retraction and I think I just got the number wrong 3 days ago ($255 instead of $251) and copied it each day. The bid increment is not $4 at that level. I would have sworn that it was $255 but I see nothing on eBay about a retraction.

The number of bidders, 3, and bids, 17, stayed the same since the 26th. A retraction would have changed that.

Very surprised at seeing no final action on this phone and its selling price.

You were right, it was $255 for a few days. I saw that each day on the listing itself and thought it is bound to go up, so guessed again. Doh!

Thanks, I thought it was $255.

Changed the daily status update back to $255 leaving the selling price at $251 and for someone else to figure that out, if it matters.
