I actually doubt the "110 pieces left" story. These do pop up every other week on ebay - but I have never seen a not-mint-in-box one!
This leaves two possibilities: the same 50 units steadily change hands *or* most of the calcs were not returned or not destroyed after being returned.
I think if you start asking around in this forum or at collectors, you'll easily end up with at least 25 mint-in-box units. How likely is that?
No need to feel bad. Nobody here uses "that auction site" anyway. ;^)
Regardless whether there exist 10 or 100 or even 1000 Xpanders,
I'm sure some of tem are simply floating around between collectors,
when they realize that this ugly-ugly device has absolutely no practical use.
Apart from that, it doesn't have much in common with a typical HP calculator.
Looking back, I think it was the right decision to cancel that beast,
as it was done with the Jornada X25, which also wasn't fish nor flesh...
Just my Eurocents;-)
