Four philosophical e-bay phone questions - 09/23/11 01:53 PM
Hi again.
Why is every phone listed on e-bay always "rare" and "vintage"?
Why is every Touch Tone phone listed on e-bay always a "push-button phone"? Do these E-bay phone pholks not know what Touch Tone is?
Why are phones on e-bay that look like they have been played with in a six year old's sand box after being rained on and chewed on by a Rotwiler dog always listed as having "minor use wear"?
Why would someone list a wall phone as being "fifties" vintage when it has a modular cord?
Just wondering...
And yes, I have gotten some acceptable phones on e-bay, but I have also been hoodwinked. Like the time that one seller listed a pink rotary keyset that was photographed as pink, (and thinking back on it, suspiciously photoshoped looking) that was actually a dirty beige.
Sorry about the rant.
Joe
