Good luck, Maureen!

I suspect the phone is nicer than it looks in the photos. Black phones are a challenge to photograph.
You might try to light the item better and get the photos more in focue. Try using some of the photo tips here:

Taking the photos outside in natural light might be another option.
I suspect it will do well in any case, but might do a lot better with stunning photos.

I decided to take pictures in the same spot as the Picturephone. I think the pics look much better. Thanks for the heads up!

Just a question:
Is this a rear seat extension phone that belongs with the one I am selling?? Check it out please.
Thanks
Mo
a better pic
Sure looks like it. The one in the old documentation appears to have an AE dial, otherwise, looks like a match.
I wish I had the money....
Down to the wire and holding strong. I am taking a guess that it will bring over $400

Wouldn't be surprised!

21 hours to go. 35 bids so far from 10 different bidders. Lots of bidders is always good!

I am literally in shock. I can't even describe it in words.

Wow!!! I was thinking $500. I'll bet you did the happy dance! Congratulations!
42 bids. Final price $2126.99.
I recognise a few of the bidders but not too many of them and don't know who the winner is. I guess maybe more "radio guys" than "phone guys"?

The gentleman who won the auction is a technology entrepreneur.

Maybe you should offer him some more of your car phones.. Seriously... He obviously is willing to step up to get them!
Dave
I can't wait to see/watch what you list next!
So did that rear seat extension go with it, or are you selling that separately?

That will be sold separately.
Thanks

Maureen,
I never would have guessed that these things would bring so much. If you keep this up, you and your husband will have to retire and move to the Caribbean :)

Looks like your father left you quite the treasure trove. Must be nice to know they are going to a good home $$$$
