Scalpers. HP 15C old is now cheap and rare.. - bill platt - 10-04-2011

I never thought that this would turn out this way! Obviously most of the HP 15C LE machines ahve been bought by scalpers. These are being turned on Ebay for measurable premium.

Meanwhile, real 15C machines are at a lower average price and are practically drowned out in the completed listings.

Original HP 15C machines, hammer prices:

250
260
710
209
167
295
99
117
325
169
165
125
100
191
210
110
180
100
129

Average = $206
Lowest = $99
Highest - $710 (a new record1?)

Compare this to the prices for the new 15C LE:
Average close: $220
Lowest: $147
Highest: $447

$447? Wow that has got to be one disappointed buyer.
