Kalci Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) I informed @Paul Veres about this deal ! We were just chatting 80s phones the other day. Lets see if he is interested. If I would be a US resident I would definitely go for it. Edited March 27, 2023 by Kalci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the shipping rate was slightly disproportional, but there were no extra taxes whatsoever, so if you really want this, being outside the U.S. should be no excuse. I also bought the letter scale from Sonny's desk last year, which weighs a ton, and had it shipped over. Sacrifices, man...they have to be made sometimes Edited March 27, 2023 by daytona365 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm up for anything for 25 bucks, but since I'm the least MV educated one here, please help me understand which one is more Miami Vice or Miami 80s one way or another. And which one is in better condition. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other one has more buttons, but is more screen-accurate on the shape. So it’s up to you which (if either) of those details matters more to you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Analyzing the photographs more I see what you're saying now. We need 800/801 shape with 610/611 4x3 (and not 4x4) buttons. So which model was in the show if it's neither of these too? It's totally called "Miami Vice phone" by sellers, e.g. https://www.ebay.com/itm/153766886232 Edited March 27, 2023 by Paul Veres 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Veres Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) You might be going too cheap, here is 800/801 for $130 and it is definitively doesn't work. https://www.ebay.com/itm/153766886232 Edited March 27, 2023 by Paul Veres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted March 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 Looks like I fooled around and clued somebody into the phone I was gonna buy for $59. It’s gone now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait don't tell me it's this: After I asked you the question about which model was actually in the show, I figured I can find out myself, and realized it was MP-601, and I found this apparently unused one on eBay for $59, and thought it's a great deal and bought it. Like 5 minutes ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just also surprised I found the right model so quickly on eBay, because from what I read here it sounded like it's tough to find it, and I never even thought of this whole topic before today. But it is a great memorabilia indeed, and if it is as new as the listing suggests, maybe it even works and I could somehow figure out how to use it. Just waiting for the seller to react now... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome! Honestly, that had been on my watch list so long I’d forgotten about it till a few minutes ago. There will always be one or two available, and I’ll get one when the time comes. I’m glad your time was today! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
