Going to try to revive these "Recent Auction Price" topics that Poplar1 started. I can't believe it was over three years ago when he regularly added to these and likewise I can't believe the overall drop in prices of coloured AE sets.

I bought this Mahogany or Walnut AE 50 on eBay from Matt at OPW but admittedly the great price was due to the unfortunate "accident" that it had but that made it fit MY coloured AE Phone budget!

Feb 6, 2017 - $107.50

Look at this BEAUTY that our own Jon Kolger "2keekers" on eBay sold on August 19, 2017 for $1880!

Here's another Royal Blue AE50 with chrome trim though it needs some restoration work. The picture of the back reveals the true colour.....beautiful colour for a phone. The third picture is a recent auction of just a dial blank plate in the same colour.

Phone sold for $1592.00 on May 17, 2018.

Anyone remember how much this one sold for?

[AE_Collector]

Yes! ...more than my budget! Actually NO, I don't.

It is one of your creations...right? When did it sell and how much?

Yep; one of mine, and I somehow didn't record just how much it sold for; that's why I asked. Thought someone might have caught it. I think it was 2006 or 2008; something like that.....

[AE_Collector]

Oh I bet someone has its Auction recorded somewhere. Years ago I used to print all the Auction results of phones that particularly interested me. But eventually the ring binder hit "full".

Have you only made one clear 50?

Terry

[AE_Collector]

No idea who you sold it to Ray? I know that Dycom here on the forum has one.
