I'm fairly new to this hobby but when I saw this ad on Craigslist for $300 I jumped on it.  Hope I did okay?? Still another box full I need to empty.

You got all those phones for $300? If so, WOW!!!!!!!!!! 

That Old Rose Beige 302 is worth, what, twice that all by itself?

That seller obviously did not know what they had.

That's more like Find of the Year.  I see at least $3k, assuming no damage to the phones.  Can't wait to see the next box.

I got them from a collector who was moving and lost interest in the hobby. He knew what he had he just wanted to move on....very nice guy!
