TAS link.

Haha ! I just saw that too. You beat me to it. Like it's the only
TAS listing. And there have already been many more auctions that have ended.

Sometimes I am positively amazed by humans.

Oh, and I didn't touch an HP for this. I used a spreadsheet on an IBM :-)

I'm conflicted about this. On the one hand it's amazing to see so many folks getting, not to put too fine a point on it, [screwed, not only by the sellers, but through getting potentially defective units. On the other it's nice to see a revived 15C selling so well. It may mean HP will actually spend the dough to implement in a reasonable way the fixes Cyrille and Tim come up with. Of course, in my dreams, brisk sales could even lead to a not limited edition 15C, or even consideration of the idea to designing new calcs along the lines of the "42S plus II glory hallelujah."

Like I said: *sigh*. :)

Amen!

Appropriate Sunday commentary. :)

There's no doubt in my mind that this hobby is at least 2/3 religion, and that last decimal digit better be a seven. :)

#8

Have you been tracking prices for a while, Bill?

At least for us Europeans that is true after all.

And with the bugs apparently accumulating in the LE, I might be tempted to also take advantage of this situation... ;)

Seems there are better investments ;-)

On and off for about 10 years...
But I am not a baseball statistician about it.

Bill,

Great work.

Funny to know that the one from the Datamath Calculator Museum sold for the highest price so far ;-))

I guess I should focus more on Hewlett Packard stuff instead TI's.

Cheers,
Joerg

#13

Yes, you should!

#14

Gene,

I would have to sell my TI-88 first - a nice HP collection needs some start-up money ;-))

Cheers,
Joerg

#15

I believe you said you'd sell the TI-88 for $2500.01, right?

#16

I remember that you wanted to trade it for your supercharged, custom-painted Saleen Mustang ;-))

Cheers,
Joerg

#17

Really? I don't remember ever saying that.

Besides, as a sophisticated European person used to sophisticated cars, I don't think you'd like it. It's pretty, but quite crude. Kind of like the SR-60. :-)

#18

I discovered that there is a pretty energetic 1960s Mustang collector fan base in Holland. Meanwhile in the U.S. we like better cars, such as Porche....
