HP-12C Message #1 Posted by Erik Wahlin on 5 Sept 2001, 6:38 p.m. Does anybody know the cause of the recent proliferation of HP-12C's on ebay and elsewhere? Is HP dumping large supplies to prospective buyers?

Re: HP-12C Message #9 Posted by Ellis Easley on 8 Sept 2001, 10:40 a.m., in response to message #8 by Erwin WalMart and other stores have been closing out the 12C. I bought one at WalMart for $35. It is made in China, has printed keys (I think the 12C keys used to have molded-in legends)and the keys are smoother looking. I saw someone in the Museum Classified ads offering a 12C, manual, and slip case, mix or match, for considerably more than $35, no mention of vintage. I think he wanted about $12 for the slip case - you can order this from HP for $6! HP has some new models, low-end for students. One is called 6s, very plain and poorly documented. Another is 30s which is kind of interesting, a sort of dual LCD, fancy molded case, different colored overlays, no bound manual but a big foldout instruction sheet with many functions.
