This HP 67 is going for $760, and it has 22 hours to go still. And the battery won't hold a charge. Yikes, I definetely need to sell mine now.

Keep yours. The 67 is so fun to use, and you'll have trouble finding a comparable quality calculator anywhere. I only recently bought a 67 (finally!) that needed some serious keyboard repair, but it could be done quite easily.

Honestly, I can't believe that this price is really gonna be paid. You would be crazy...

Cheers, Victor

This auction finally ended with $810.00 as the final bid. Note how the winning bidder has zero (0) feedback. Looks like bid rigging to me.

If it was bid rigging, then the guy with the (0) feedback probably would not have wound up with the final bid.

But then, I have noticed that when a person with a reputation for bidding way above prevailing market values is around (JOE_OIL, THERWIL, JONCONALI, etc) that (0) bidders seem to pop up and drive the bids even higher. It is very rare that they actually get stuck with the high bid. I don't know how often they actually pay for it.
