Just won this phone on eBay:

The phone has an intact looking coiled handset cord and what looks like a dial mask. I don't see any cracks. It's a well-photographed phone, I am surprised it only went the price it did.

Great Buy Sargeguy! Maybe the busy weekend has people doing other things than watching eBay. I had that on my radar and certainly expected to see it go higher. I look forward to seeing your photos of this when you get it spiffed up.

I was watching it also, but figured the condition and rarity would make it go for much more, so I dropped it off my watch list.
Won't doi that again.
I'll give you $30.00 plus shipping.

My final bid was in the $50 range, so I am happy no one else jumped in at the end. I think advertising it as a 302 with a $25.00 starting bid may have put a damper on some of the bidding. People don't want to start that high for a run-of-the-mill thermoplastic 302.

And now we have this one going for $26.00? It has two cracks. My high bid was $7.

Hope that newer phone number on the $60 one can be removed to show the original dial card underneath.
