I don't think you understand how collecting things works.

Is a stamp or a coin worth its face value? Not at all, if it's rare, and people desire it. It's worth whatever people are willing to pay for it.

I personally wouldn't pay anything for a Turing phone, because I don't collect rare phones. But since wormdrummer isn't trying to convince people it's worth lots *for its function as a phone* (edit - and also because since Turing appears to be stillborn, it isn't like selling it to a collector is going to deprive the developer community of it) I can't for the life of me think what your objection is.
