Is this a good/reasonable price? Message #1 Posted by Silvio on 2 Feb 2003, 6:10 p.m. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=11712&item=3004982650 They say the calculators are new, but how much did they cost when in production? Also, a few days ago Martin posted a message saying HP just found some 17s and 19s, and they would be put on sale by mid Feb.

Chris Edmunds runs Samson Cables. Message #4 Posted by Michael Tjebben on 2 Feb 2003, 8:56 p.m., in response to message #3 by Raymond Del Tondo (Germany) Chris Edmunds runs Samson Cables. I think that this must be his ebay effort. I purchased an HP49G from him a year or so ago and it had troubles. Chris did a GREAT job of helping me get a replacement. Therefore, considering he had the lowest price (at the time) on brand new HP49G's and he backed his product, I was quite pleased! -Mike

Re: ... or this one? Message #5 Posted by Spice_Man on 2 Feb 2003, 7:10 p.m., in response to message #2 by Silvio I've dealt with this dealer, and he is professional in the way he manages his sales. According to EBay, his feedbacks consist of "1697 positives. 1464 are from unique users. 5 neutrals. 4 negatives. 4 are from unique users. " I'd say that's a pretty good record. Spicey

Re: Is this a good/reasonable price? Message #6 Posted by Todd G. on 2 Feb 2003, 9:09 p.m., in response to message #1 by Silvio I've never done business with this seller, but from the asking prices, I'd say they were "opportunistic". I thought the 17BII prices were out of line, but the 32SII prices were completely insane. Pay it if you want, but I'd send my business elsewhere due to the shameless high prices.

Other options Message #7 Posted by Renato on 2 Feb 2003, 9:26 p.m., in response to message #1 by Silvio Silvio, If you are really looking for 17BII, there are better online and offline deals in Brazil. I just bought a very nice 17bII for R$140,00 (less than US$40.00). A month ago, I bought a used condition for R$80,00 (less than US$30). I can find a new in box, old stock for US$100,00. Auctions run in mercadolivre for R$180.00 to R$250.00 - but please, do not pay these prices - you would inflate prices here. I can help you find a good deal around here - just get in touch. Abraços, Renato
