I thought this to be rhetorical, because yes, to the buyer it was worth it. Message #22 Posted by Geoff Quickfall on 13 Apr 2009, 1:09 p.m., in response to message #1 by Gonzalo Fernandez (Spain)
Only he can tell us the 'Why'.
I use the HP41CX extensively at work and at home as a brain teaser. I have outfitted it with a Clonix, double x-memory, IR transmitter for printing and numerous modules for fun and use.
I probably have overstepped the boundary of what others would be willing to invest with respect to time and money. In fact, I purchased a spare for when I go back to school as my self created programs still apply to my field and program running time is not a factor.
I also restore watches, over 150 of them so far. These are only going to be an investment when I start selling them (after retirement). I have done my homework on type and complication, that employs the most fun for repair and the highest return in future sales. The only unkown is whether anyone will want a museum restored, mechanical watch in the future?
So back to the buyer, as an earlier poster said, if you have the money to play then play. For me the CY would finish my HP 41CX series off perfectly.
So the question is, does anyone have a spare CY for sale for under $200 that they are willing to sell? Mainly because it means nothing to them including the possibility of a $2500 sale?
Drop me a line and make a quick $200 ;-)
That's my 2 cents!!!
