A man in North Carolina recently bought a vintage cellphone for $3,500, according to the Sun Sentinel newspaper.
The phone, a 1950s Motorola CX-1, had a phone code of 8-8-8, according a video posted by the seller, John.
John told the newspaper that the phone has been in his garage for a decade.
“He wanted it so badly that he actually paid for the phone, the seller said in the video.
The seller said he received the phone from a family member, who was the son of a former president.
