Strange bidding history - Walter B - 06-12-2006
Look at this: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9736145745
There's only *one* bidder, but the price rises every time this one and only person bids again. Anyone having an explanation for this?

Is it possible that there was a reserve?
Re: Strange bidding history - Ron - 06-13-2006
Don't know. Pretty nice red dot though.
Re: Strange bidding history - Ronald - 06-13-2006
Hi,
Yeah nice one, but what I do not understand is how the red dot could be lost, it is deep in the calculator, no one will would touch that ever I assume ?
Also the alu name tage stickers are missing I think to make it a 100% complete set.

A Red Dot without a red dot? I`m not shure: Is this an original one or has this HP-35 been assembled from spare parts in a service department somewhere?

That's just because the first bidder bid a very high maximum. Every time someone else puts in a bid, eBay's proxy bid system automatically increases the original bid and the same person is still the winner. It looks odd because the bid history doesn't show who made the losing bids.

Doesn't the red dot show only when the calc's turned on? These pictures have it turned off.
