I appreciate all who have responded, and your input. Thanks!
However my next question has to do with the mechanics of the trade. Did you send your calculator away first? Did you use registered mail? What steps did you take to protect yourself? Has anyone ever been disappointed or ripped off? Do you only deal with known entities?
If I were to trade said very common HP, I would not hesitate to trade with any one whose name normally appears on this board - and, because I lurk, I am familiar with most of the people and would not hesitate to trade with them. (except for "corrosion", or whatever his name is)
But I am still very interested in this side of the equation as it seems a very unique aspect of the collecting culture. Normally, one can trade at flea markets, etc. Doing this via the 'net changes things a little bit.
