Dark Beige 554 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/1950S-WESTERN-ELECTRIC-WALL-TELEPHONE-RARE-COLOR-MUTE-BEIGE-COFFEE-W-BOX-/300777542391?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&nma=true&si=JFtR9D4cDtJQRfopLmO8E4t4xvE%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc%5Bb)

I was watching this one, more out of curiosity than anything. The ending bid seems reasonable, given the color. What I find odd, though, is that I have seen more auctions for this color, over the last three years, and less for the LIGHT beige version in soft plastic-- but this color will get the higher bid more than the other. I realize that light beige is less popular than any other color, but I ask you. If you are collecting "every color", doesn't rarity help dictate value?
I had a low snipe on that just in case it somehow escaped other peoples' notice.

Larry,
It never hurts to try! I didn't know you were looking for 554's.

Okay, how low? $20? ;D
Jumped over $100 in less than 12 hours. Winner placed only one bid. Always curious what the top end of a snipe was but, will never know . . .
Love a good rose beige. 554 or 500. I think the 554 are rarer.
