Difficulty Of Obtaining Various Models (And Prices) - aj04062 - 06-16-2012 When is the last time this was updated? Is there a more modern way to create this list via voting or another technique?
Re: Difficulty Of Obtaining Various Models (And Prices) - Walter B - 06-17-2012 IMHO this is quite outdated as well as a few *other* chambers (pun intended) of this museum. I tried more than once to trigger some renovation activities, but no success so far :-(
Re: Difficulty Of Obtaining Various Models (And Prices) - DeboT - 06-17-2012 I think it's a bit useless to update that list whilst sellers like garboco, maine calculator, thecalculatorstore etc. list exorbitant prices on some models (e.g. 71B and accessories) thus artificially raising the expectation of prices (e.g I am quite sure that garboco buys for 1/10 of his sale price, because I am quite sure he was coburlin and then he only bid 1/10 on any similar item I sold that he had on his listings).
Re: Difficulty Of Obtaining Various Models (And Prices) - Mark Scheuern - 06-17-2012 It might, though, be useful to get some idea of what people are actually paying as opposed to what some sellers unreasonably expect to get.
Re: Difficulty Of Obtaining Various Models (And Prices) - db (martinez, ca.) - 06-17-2012 About 8 years or so ago someone else noticed the same pattern in coburlin's bidding. He pointed out that in those days ebay let us track what other people were bidding on. Maybe two or three of us would bid on things that looked way under-appreciated just to keep him from getting them for free. I went as far as to write to a couple of sellers that had miss-spelled hp gear that started for 99 cents to mention that someone named coburlin was going to be contacting them about ending the auction early if they would take his (low-in-real-life) price. i did that off and on for about a year because he was (is?) such an arrogant and insulting ass hole that i figured he needed it. others may have kept doing it for longer.
someone posting as coburlin posted this here in 2005: Re: Difficulty Of Obtaining Various Models (And Prices) - Bart (UK) - 06-18-2012 OK, I'll start off. Here are some items I have purchased in the last two years: Edited: 18 June 2012, 5:26 a.m.
