    Picked this up with a few towers, Lucent Partner II Phone System

    I picked this up with some towers this week. I did a little research and am hoping I can maximize my $4.75 purchase for it. Neither myself or the seller had any idea what it was at the time and I had given him all but the $4.75 I had left in my pocket for the three towers I bought from him. Its a shame when you have to way out your coffee money for a possible score The only downside is it is untested and I do not have the power chord for it.

    A lot of these bring good money on eBay being sold 'as is'. You did very well here. Phone equipment resellers are also quick to buy these but make sure their offers are in the ballpark by checking the closed sales on eBay.

    Thanks for the recomendation Gophercard! I searched Ebay and saw the pirces varied depending on the unit and modules. The phome systems seem like they dont loose their steam either. I appreciate the heads up!
