I was perusing eBay and found a listing for an HP 35 Red Dot, auction number 301008662547. I found some interesting anomalies on this item, which may be why there are no bids so far with less than a day remaining in the auction. It's been a while since a Red Dot has been for sale and a lot of them have been questionable as to authenticity.

It seems fishy to me. It is definitely not 100% original. How would the red wear off anyways?

Well, clearly there are many parts that are not Version 1. It was probably cobbled up with a buggy Version 2 and perhaps parts from later versions. If it had been returned to the HP factory for repair, then the buggy ROM would have been replaced. The only thing that puzzles me is the serial number inside the battery compartment, which is low enough to be from the Red Dot era.

Is it the one on the listing just ending within 18 minutes?

Wow, that looks, I should sell some of my RedDots now.... The price was not bad.
