I normally don't collect telephone related items unless they're really cool, and I really liked this item on Proxibid. But I couldn't justify spending over $130 plus shipping, not at this time. It got too rich for me even in the pre-bidding, but I watched the live auction. Problem with Proxibid is the auctions add an "internet buyers premium" that varies, in this case it was 18%. It sold for $130, plus the 18% IBP, bringing it to $153.40. When you factor in the cost of shipping, the total was probably around $175. I quit when the purchase price plus the IBP was pushing $100.
Had to have been a phone collector. Congrats to whom ever it was - anybody here?
