You can't sell it for $5 because no one will pay $5 for it except a propmaster at Skywalker Ranch. (In fact, have you listed yourself as a prop house with production studios? All they want is an inventory that they can read and trust exists.) Useless 1950 Bakelite rotary office phones sell for $40 in vintage stores. Why? A cellphone costs $15 at Target. The Time phone is trapped in crevasse of time and deserves a Haiku as a tribute....

There's no way I can let it go that cheap. The technology involved in dual function electronics is incredibly complex and therefore expensive. But come here Al. You're a smart guy Al and I'm not gonna pull any punches. I like how you operate. You want the phone? You want the alarm clock, right Al? You want the burlap sack? It can be yours. Al, all you need to do is send me three payments of 2.30 each and the package is yours. Can I expect that from you Al? Al, that phone is also a digital alarm clock.

They put a price on something and I tell them what it is worth to me and we agree on a mutually benefical price. For that phone, with the alarm clock feature I would give you 2 bucks, but if you throw in that burlap sack I will give you 2.30....
