Hi have a working 286 BT linesman phone I'm thinking of selling, complete with a BT single headphone. What would be a reasonable price? Thanks Billy G7LER. PS in good cosmetic condition. Does pulse and tone.

One sold on ebay recently for £40+, another last June for £10+. Both less headphone.

I would say the Chesilvale versions are worth considerably less than the Hosiden Besson or other versions, on account of them being rubbish quality by comparison.
