HP-15C LE : fastest selling ever ?
Message #1 Posted by Donald Ingram on 1 Oct 2011, 6:32 p.m.

It seems that HP cannot keep the 15C LE in stock on their own webstore for more than a few hours.

Does this runaway success make the 15C their fastest selling calculator ever ?

I don't think HP has ever brought a calc to market in quite the bizarre manner of the HP 15C LE, which might explain the initial sales frenzy. Ultimately, sales will level out and will probably reach a finite asymtote representative of the true demand.

Do you have a function for this that we can plug into our favorite graphical calculator? Maybe HP can release another Limited Edition calculator, a variation of the 50g for use in doing just this!

The "Gompertz Curve Trend Analysis" program on p.48 ff. of the HP-41 "Business Stat/Marketing/Sales" User's Library Solutions book should do the trick. ;)

How about a HP 6S Limited Edition?
