Shows you what happens when a relatively common (for the day) item was never offered for sale, only lease. I haven't seen many 208 Datasets for sale, either.
 
It seems like most things Western Electric from what I've seen and experienced go for large amounts of money. Back in 1999 I was given a new old stock set of Western Electric 300B triodes along with a bunch of other Western Electric items. I put them on eBay and was shocked when someone in Japan bid $600 for each triode. The other Western Electric items I was given went for huge amounts too. Now I'm always on the lookout for Western Electric equipment.
 
The dataset sold for $635USD and the auxiliary set sold for $510.00.

While ebay really obfuscates the buyers now you can see one went to someone who is into telephones and the other has in interest in tape and audio equipment.
