Anyone got a spare £12000 for this WE - if it's real that is!

Both phones mentioned in this thread are still online (or again?)

There's no rhyme or reason in this seller's auctions with the information we have.

Down to 7100 EUR meanwhile.
He's got another nice one, a red Trommelwähler. 2450,- is a bargain, considering that the handset is almost perfect ;-)
But sure you do not see these every day.

I may probably get this for  $100  if I pick it up on the opposite side of the city.
Are $ 100 to bad?

I want to keep it and use it on my desktop.

As long as no damage, the price is fair for E.U. (€91).
I would buy it.

Looks good, price is on the low side, and a trip through the city off the rush hour should not be too bad.
The Fg Tist 261b is the older version and should have a bakelite shell which is breakable. On mine the shell was replaced with a later polystyrene one (model 264) which was also damaged.

I will pick it up tomorrow  :) Thank you for your info, I do not know this version but I really like the design.
