35S - AU$141 - DaveJ - 07-29-2007 Looks like the 35s will be going for a very pricey AU$141 in Australia (US$120), from this supplier at least:

Re: 35S - AU$141 - Les Wright - 07-29-2007 I am Canadian and between expedited shipping and taxes and fees at the border I ended up paying around $90US ($100CDN) including all costs. I really like the calculator so was quite happy to splurge. I have spent a hundred bucks on stupider things in the past. It is not a perfect calculator, but considering how outrageously expensive the HP65 was in 1974 (and that is hardly a perfect machine either), it really is a bargain even at the outrageous markups outside the US.

Re: 35S - AU$141 - Paul Dale - 07-29-2007 Samson Cables. The only problem I encountered was that the plastic blister the calculator came in was cracked by the time it got here. The calculator worked fine of course and nothing inside was damaged.
Re: 35S - AU$141 - Seth Morabito - 07-29-2007 You should be thankful! That probably made the damn thing easier to open. I do so miss when calculators came in things called "boxes". Crazy idea, I know.
(And yes, I understand the economics of blister packaging. Doesn't mean I have to like it, though, does it?)
Re: 35S - AU$141 - Reth - 07-30-2007 I got mine from Samson Cables ($53+$20 = A$84) paid on 15-7, arrived here in Sydney on 26-7 and strangely enough, the blister pack was broken on top, not opened and no damages. Cheers,
Reth

Don't know if they actually have them, tho - if you click on the B/W image of the calculator for more info you get a JPG of a B/W scan of the back of the brochure - not even the PDF from HP's web site?

I got mine from York U. Slightly tilted LCD display, so buyer beware. But seriously, a nice calculator (to semi-retire my 32SII, due to more memory for programs). The display is by far the weak link in 35s. Next to my 20-year-old 32SII it is much inferior in contrast, even on highest setting. But I like the keys.
