Re: So, is this a new high for HP-65? Message #20 Posted by Johnny Bjoern Rasmussen on 21 Dec 2001, 6:14 a.m., in response to message #1 by Mike
An experience from Denmark:
I saw an HP-34C in a danish markedplace homepage for about $10,- and phoned the seller at once. He claimed, that it was allready sold, but the buyer was to pick it up as he was driwing from Germany to Copenhagen, where the HP-34C was located.
He also told me, that a great number of interested prospective buyers had phoned him, and he was very surprised about how popular this (to him, at least at this moment) worthless calculator was.
Well - hoping that the german buyer wouldn't spend a whole day in his car, I phoned the seller again some days later. Stille the same answer... Hmmm...
After a week or so, I phoned him once again, and he told me, that the calculator was sold.
Okay - I thought, to bad...
But some few days later I saw an auction for an HP-34C on the same homepage, and clicked to check the phonenumber, wich of cause turned out to be the same as the former sellers.
So:
- either the seller had two (TWO/2) pcs. HP-34C in the exactly same condition, packed with the same accessories
Or:
- he made a clone of the calculator that was picked up in Copenhagen by the German guy
Or:
- the seller has the worlds only real 3D Xeror machine...
Very mysterious.......
