BTW, the $350 you paid for the HP-65 is perfectly reasonable for that model, even $500 would be reasonable for a complete set in good cosmetic and working condition. The HP-80 is a much less significant model, and routinely sells as a complete set in the $100 to $200 range (I have 4 very good to excellent sets). If the one in the auction were completely new in the box, then perhaps it might be worth that, but it's not. In fact, the manuals are in only fair cosmetic condition and I think that the word "mint" used by the seller is hyperboly and unjustified. Certainly, it is not pristine. Note that a photo of the battery compartment is not provided.
It will be interesting to see if anyone bites on this.
