Uno, dos, tres

These three auctions, all by the same seller, just ended today:

UNO:


http://www.ebay.com/itm/200838511763 ( dead link 03-14-21 )

WE TYPE 72 Two Boxer with OST Transmitter and Cowbell ringer...$305


DOS:

WE TYPE 21 Double Wide...$264


TRES:



http://www.ebay.com/itm/200838320419 ( dead link 03-14-21 )

WE TYPE 21 Triple Wide ....$364

Unfortunately I just bought a 2-Boxer last week so I couldn't afford any of these.  Of course that didn't stop me from buying the single wide, however.  I thought that the other two would have gone for much more, otherwise I would have bid on them.

These do not show up that often on eBay and I am surprised they didn't fetch more.  Here is a similar auction that ended about a week ago:

This one is in worse condition, and does not have the original receiver.  The box also appears to have been replaced at some point early on.  The transmitter is correct for the #5 arm.  $522 USD.

I think having the auctions end at 3am helped keep prices low.  Also, there were a lot of nice old phones on eBAy at the time (4 from this seller alone) that spread the $$$ around.  I'm sure a few folks were saving up to put bids on the TYPE 85 that sold for more than 2 grand
