New record prices for HP Calculators

[John Pierce]

There is a small collection of calculators for sale on eBay. I think 590,000 Euros is a little excessive for what is being sold and probably represents a record price. And maybe I'm sitting on a fortune of HP items. Check it out. http://cgi.ebay.es/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5156775575&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

Just look at it as 590.00, maybe you're more confortable with this...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, very good massimo.

Indeed, he should have done CF28 or ON/. in his mind...

590€ is quite a lot of money, but the lot, if as advertised, if offered at a common ebay price.

Yes, it means 590 Euros, of course.

That's why Europeans use a decimal comma,

not only a point...it can be seen more easily, except on an hp33S;-)

Summing up the individual item prices seems to lead to a reasonable price,

at least if the units are not worse than described...

HP-48GX + 3 128K RAM cards : 150 - 200 Euros

hp49g : 75 - 100 Euros (ok, to me the 49g is worth nothing, but that's another story...)

hp49g+ : 150 - 170 Euros

HP-32SII : 150 - 250 Euros

HP-20S : 20 - 50 Euros

HP-38G : 20 - 50 Euros

The above are price ranges I saw at online dealers and on eBay.

So you can see that the auction isn't exactly a bargain,

but not too expensive, too.
