I was watching this auction and I know it was ended early, though it really does not say that anywhere. To end an auction early, you have to give a reason, so that really should be displayed somewhere on the page. I think the seller must have realized that the included PPC ROM module should have been listed separately and so he ended the auction to do that. Dave

Re: Excellent purchase! (not mine, what a pity) Message #7 Posted by Jim L (OHIO) on 21 June 2010, 11:00 p.m., in response to message #1 by Gonzalo Fernandez (Spain) Well, I never saw this auction; with a PPC ROM and all. But--I was successful (in my 1st ever eBay attempt) in getting a 41CX with an Advantage Module for $275, and I'm happy with that. Especially considering I was foolish enough to have gotten rid of an early HP-41C, Finance, Statistics, Mechanics, Statics, and Memory modules back in the late '80s. And the Wickes Synthetic Programming book too. Guess I'm trying to recreate that era, and since the $275 I just paid for a 41CX is less than the $395 I paid for the 41C plus inflation, I think I'm not doing too bad so far.
