While walking the neighbor's dog this morning with my daughter, we came upon a garage sale. Among the few items for sale, I picked up a used Palm Pilot m105, with all accessories for $10 for my daughter.
Just for a lark, I asked the gentleman manning the table if he had any old Hewlett-Packard calculators for sale. He said he had one somewhere in the house that he hadn't used in years because he never liked RPN... A minute later he returned with a 'slightly' scratched and logo-worn HP-15C SN# USA 2638A79757, that was otherwise in excellent condition with manual and impeccable rear plate. All keys operate like-new. He said the price was $5. I now have a nice spare!
This stroke of luck reminded me of a lady in Australia who was looking for a manual for the 15C on this forum about 6 years ago after purchasing one for $1AUS at a local flea market. Do any of you have similar stories to share about great calculator deals you have come across?
