HP 35 type 1 - Randy - 10-13-2002 I have an HP 35, type 1, that I bought used in about 1973. It came with the grey plastic case, leather case, charger, manual and a packet of sales literature (I still have all of these items). I used it through college and continued to use it in the years since. It shows quite a bit of wear, but still works. The serial number is 00007. The impression of the 7 is slightly deeper than the 0's. I am interested in selling it, but am not sure how to price it, as it seems to be quite unique (type 1, EXTREMELY low serial number). Can anyone give me any advice? Thank you.
Re: HP 35 type 1 - Glen Kilpatrick - 10-13-2002 It's hard for me to know how really special yours is (it's not of a kind that I'd buy). But An eBay search for "35" in calculators, asking for "Completed Items", such as http://search-completed.ebay.com/search/search.dll?GetResult&query=35&from=R10&ht=1&currdisp=2&itemtimedisp=1&category2=11711&combine=y&st=2&SortProperty=MetaEndSort suggests $34, $36, $50, & $70. And my impression is that 35's used to be worth more (so they're dropping in value, maybe). So presuming that you want to sell rather than treasure, you may want to sell sooner rather than later, and probably not expect as much as $100....
Not even IMHO, more my SWAGuestimate.

Re: HP 35 type 1 - Glen Kilpatrick - 10-13-2002 Looking at today's http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/forum.cgi?read=22985 I see that they *really* are crazy on eBay, so Randy, forget my historical analysis, it's what they pay tomorrow that counts, not what they paid last week.
Re: HP 35 type 1 - Christof (Davis, CA) - 10-13-2002 a plain jane HP35 with maybe a charger and no case, manuals, etc. 25-75 bucks. an early run red dot all bugs all bits in working condition.... I cna't afford it. I'd guess that you cna find a buyer willing to offer over $300- I've seen $600 sales. I could be off by a factor of up to 150% easily :) and Ebay is differnet from here. I'd rather sell here for 75% of the ebay average, or even less if I got a good deal in the first place.
My guess is that by morning you will have gotten at least three emails offering fairly reasonable sums.
Re: HP 35 type 1 - Randy - 10-13-2002 You are correct. I misread the serial no. The printed portion is, in fact, 1143A, and the stamped portion is 00007. Thanks for your insights!
Re: HP 35 type 1 - Christof (Davis, CA) - 10-14-2002 you have 1143A00007? wow.
Re: HP 35 type 1 - Raymond Del Tondo - 10-14-2002 Hi,
I think the serial number part before the country code (1143) Two of my 35's have 1402, another has 1302...

Re: HP 35 type 1 - Rick - 10-14-2002 How and why do you guys know so much about some old calculator? You guys are a dieing breed... but thank God there are still guys like you around that can answer questions like this.
