Turing was abaddoned by Sailfish OS and Jolla. No more software updates. Dead End.

So now the only question is, what is a reasonable price for a device, which was sold in 2016 for 870 € and doesn't get updates anymore...

The last thing i heard related to this phone was someone how was asked if his turing still works with recent updates explaining his battery did the scared pufferfish and he can not test

So, not a good idea to burn them for daily use anyway.

I do not know if there is already a smartphone collectors scene. From the prices reached for Jolla Tablets and even Jolla Cs i would guess yes.

I can tell you this much, there was less than 2,000 units produced so for any fan of Sailfish phones these beauties will certainly become a collector’s item. Can you buy/find it anywhere else right now? I would doubt it very much.

Really no offense. Just trying to explain why you will probably not find a buyer or fuel your auction here.
Most people here had several chances to acquire one.
We discussed it during it was still officially buyable and had several offers around 500$ for used second hand units in 2017.
I do not say the device has no chance to reach your desired price since it is boxed mint condition.
Thanks for posting it anyway.
Always interesting to see the outcome of those auctions.

I would simply like to add the unspoken sentiment: scalpers are the scum of the earth. Someone with more money than brains is guaranteed to buy a massively overpriced useless device eventually (is there something like a " Murphy's law" for this yet?), but I don't think you'll find any buyers on a forum dedicated to keeping old devices working for as long as possible.

I think it's just plain old "supply and demand". Not too many were ever made, so the unknown here is the worldwide demand for one of these, I guess as a collectible. Everything else is collected by someone, so why not? I'm gonna watch those auctions just to find out where that demand point is.

But man, I forgot just how gaudy that "Glitter Lizard" model -- or whatever -- was. But there's a market for iPhones blinged with diamonds . . . the Turing phone has a much more affordable tackiness-to-dollars ratio.
