I don't know anything about phone collecting - I'm just happy when someone gets an item who:
A - Will take care of it
B - Appreciates it's significance
C - Really wants it
D - Doesn't already have a dozen
I got more than my fair share of stuff over the last couple years so I'm happy to spread the wealth.
I also get a kick out of helping someone find an item they've been searching hard for. Like when I found one of those big bakelite Admirals for Nixer
