Especially since you can get those manuals for a small fraction of that amount from the Museum's CD/DVD set. And dozens of other menus, too. -Ernie

This is not the point with these auctions (like the crazy prices for HP32-II calcs as well). These manuals are not for reading - in this case a PDF would be sufficient, but for *having*, because everything concerning HP calcs promises to rise in value in the future. A PDF is worthless there. Be also aware that exactly for the prospect of further rises there are individual who attempt to keep the prices as high as possible already now. There will always be idiots who buy at such prices.

Jarett"... less than US $90.00 for the manuals isn't too much in this perspective. Let's not pay too much attention to those crazy people (IMHO). Massimo

Re: HP-41CX Manuals for $90? Message #5 Posted by David Smith on 20 Mar 2003, 5:49 p.m., in response to message #4 by Massimo Gnerucci (Italy) A pair of CX manuals usually brings less than $30 on Ebay. There seems to be a pair on auction at any given time. They seem to be slightly more common than the C/CV manuals. Some people just don't bother doing their homework (check the completed auctions prices) or they just GOTTA have it NOW.
