HP41CX mint - lucky 7? - Tom (UK) - 09-23-2002 One dealer is selling these off in the UK as a Dutch Auction, 2 lots of 3. A recently registerd name of 'wetblujob' (very funny - not) is currently bidding for all 6 on a bid of $250. The only other purchase by the above account is... A HP41CX (mint) for ... $400! (from the same dealer) My 2 cents worth is that there are more of these than I first thought (50+?) and that this has NOT depressed prices! Will these units re-appear on ebay later for bigger bucks (I can't see a reason to want 7 of these) so a dealer or perhaps an investor? I heard that Air France used them on concord - so perhaps an agent is buying them up for a comercial set up. Or is NASA behind this one???
PS These calcs were originally listed at 50 pounds 'buy it now', I wonder how much the dealer paid for them? At $400 each he will have a very good xmas!

Re: HP41CX mint - lucky 7? - Christof (Davis, CA) - 09-23-2002 YIke! 50 pounds!!?!?!? I wish I'd seen that. I'm afraid I succumbed to temptation and paid a bit more for one that that (not on ebay, though)
I feel a bit bad that I didn't get a great deal, but I feel good that I got one at all. I *do* wonder how many were out there. Maybe we should band together and find a batch of a dozen going for 50pounds each, eh?
Re: HP41CX - a new supplier?? - AshP - 09-23-2002 Well, I suppose that it's promising news that HP are still appointing people to be official suppilers. However, this is the company that was flogging of 41's recently at £250 a throw. We wait to see if going to be anything to 'officialy supply' in future.
Just to make you drool... - Dave Mabry - 09-23-2002 It is true that they were 50 pounds at first. Take a look here. I don't think you can see the "winners" unless you are one on this kind of e-pay ad, but I was able to snatch one of them at this price. But, there was shipping added to it. ;-)
Total was $110 and about 7 weeks wait (must have been a really slow boat).
Re: HP41CX mint - lucky 7? - Iqbal - 09-23-2002 I saw a documentary on CNN a couple days ago, about predicting hurricane paths and a pilot was using an HP41. I got one of these NIB on ebay for $250 which I consider a deal. It's a chance of a lifetime I guess, because whatever happens at HP, one thing is sure, we'll never see this type of quality again.

Re: Well actually you can see who bought them ... - Rick - 09-24-2002 While that might be true, he hasn't sold any at the $400 price. One went for $300, but all those listed at $400 were eventually relisted.
Re: HP41CX mint - lucky 7? - Gordon Dyer - 09-24-2002 I was lucky enough to buy one at £50 (I am in the UK). |
