I can't say I completely disagree with all your points. But then again, a nice car is high tech that's expensive and quickly obsolete. I lost interest in the devices --- but as a point of reference--- I sold my last one to the one of the wealthiest persons in the Philipinnes per Forbes-- a mining magnate---even a guy like that bought it used. They still sell about 300k per year and Nokia still owns 10% of the company. surf
Ps-- I have found that most folks don't have a clue what it is, but those who know think its pretty cool. At least that's my experience. Just like my somewhat obscure wristwatches. I would never buy a Rolex, but other lesser known brands hold my interest.

Yes, that was a bozo typo on my part. :eek:
Got to check the next time, I wonder if they have any in the Bangkok night markets, you know, next to the $50 Rolex?
If the phone is autographed by surf, i would consider $11,500. i've seen this phone sell in hong kong for over 145,000. the last person who used this phone said it changed his life. wouldn't it be great to tell all your friends on facebook, "i have a phone!!"
note: i am selling my coffee mug for 430,000. i believe a few famous people considered buying the same cup.

you have either taken the entire community for a ride or you are the biggest moron east of L.A. Be careful, playing with fire is what Jack Hershey did and look where it got him, he got lost in his own made-up world.
By the way, please do not compare precious and value preserving super cars as well as time keepers with your garbage phone. The former will always be in style (drive a 1969 Ferrari GTC around the block and you will see, an original 1951 Breitling and countless others, much more valuable watches) on the other hand, your phone looks like a POS, if you honestly ever showed off such phone then you must be lacking severe self-confidence. People do not even buy such phones to show they can afford them, unless they are of course rich AND retarded.

Practically speaking a car doesn't obsolete for 10 years.
And then many cars (emotional cars) still maintain their mystique.
I own three watches like you describe. Other than the fact they have appreciated in value, I will never buy another. Too expensive to maintain and it doesn't send the right message anymore (even among hedgefund types). Recently I've been in a lot of meetings with pretty big PE guys. Very few fancy watches.
Finally a decent conversation-- thank you. I agree, I have seen less and less fancy/expensive watches on the street. The fad seems to be close to ending its course. I have collected since 1990 and note what was considered very large in 1990 38 mm or so, now looks like a woman's watch, others have grown so large. When I get tired of one or another, I sell them on Ebay, and generally the buyers are from Moscow, Hong Kong, China, Middle East and the occasional Brooklyn Russian who no doubt resells to Moscow. I have rarely sell one to a US based buyer.
Beleive it or not, there is still a market for the Vertu phones---

Yeah, there are replicas made in Hong Kong. Often replicas are past off as the real thing on Ebay to those who haven't a clue. I would advise against buying one without authentication. Once you get it, its easy to tell, but near impossible in pictures. surf
