Strange eBay prices lately..... Message #1 Posted by Michael Meyer on 24 Oct 2008, 3:04 p.m.
After a couple of years hiatus, I've had the "bug" to buy a few more HP's, my first Russian calculators, etc. A little restoration. Not quite to my slogan from 2001: "Another Day, Another Calculator." That was a fun time.
I just bought a fully working HP-19C for $153. (My wife's response: "Don't you already have one of those?" "Duh! Not one from Singapore.") Not too odd.. except that a "working" (nothing noted about the card reader) TI-59 just sold for $182, and an HP-12C in a box just sold for $258. Anyone want to buy all my 12C's and 59's? <grin> (Who was it on the forum that used to mail HP's with TI's thrown in as packing material?.....) My TI's may actually be worth something some day. (I probably have a half dozen 59's as it was my calculator in college and they were only a couple of dollars years ago and fun to fix...)
On the one hand, it's nice to see the prices of these wonderful antiques going up, on the other hand, it sure makes collecting tougher.
