Here's what we do: We rastle up 28 more committments on this forum, and we pool our money to buy the lot.
I suggest, for those interested that we ammend the subject of each reply with the sequential increment of how many each commit to.
ie, I added "calc #2" to this subject title, since Seth wanted one, and I want one. If the next poster wants one unit, he/she'd add a three to the post, and so on...

Sounds like alibaba.com. It's a very common technique to group together a bunch of technology items and essentially solicit "bids" on the purchase. I've heard both good and bad things abut sales like this. I'd be careful!
On the other hand, I might be interested. It's the old risk vs. reward debate.
thanks,
bruce

Save your money... Alibaba strikes again
While you're buying, why not pick up a few extra of these
They have Curtas too!
I think that if you ask nicely, some of these "suppliers" could probably get you a bridge or two built by John Augustus Roebling...
