Is a 71B math module with manuals worth $225 ? - Marcus von Cube, Germany - 12-01-2008 I doubt it. You can find it as a By It Now item on the auction site.

Re: Is a 71B math module with manuals worth $225 ? - Walter B - 12-01-2008 Hallo Marcus,
it was discussed here several times: *There is no absolute value for such items.* Prices grow with people willing to pay them. Personally, I won't pay such an amount for this, but that's just my view.

Quote: Me neither. This weekend, one went on the german site of the unmentionable auction house for something like 80 Euros. More reasonable, but still much more than I would be ready to pay for it. Bear in mind that _nobody_ on this planet really needs this thing. We collectors would like to have one of course (or a spare one for the spare 71B, as in my case :-) ) but as collectors we need to be people with patience anyway - and with enough patience, a better deal will come up sooener or later. Always has so far!

Re: Is a 71B math module with manuals worth $225 ? - Karl Schneider - 12-01-2008 Well, in 2004 I paid around that much. A MoHPC Forum regular initiated a direct-purchase offer after the following thread appeared: http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/archv014.cgi?read=51837#51837 At the time, I had never seen an HP-71B Math ROM available for purchase at eBay or the MoHPC Classifieds. I figured that it was a rare and coveted item. In recent years, however, the ROM has become much more available -- and at reasonable prices, although not always with a lithographed manual included. -- KS

Re: Is a 71B math module with manuals worth $225 ? - Patrick Rendulic - 12-02-2008 No. It's a bit of plastic with some obsolete and outdated electronic parts. A serious person would'nt even bother using it as there are much more powerful machines available today.
