56 HP-41CX's Sold At Government Auction
Message #1 Posted by John M (Ottawa) on 4 Oct 2011, 6:14 p.m.

A lot of fifty-six (56) HP-41CX's sold recently at Canadian Government surplus auction (called Crown Asset Distribution).

Link to HP-41CX Auction

It will be interesting to see if this will affect the overheated HP-41CX market on TAS. It depends on how the buyer will disperse his trove of 56 calculators.

Footnote: At least one of the HP-41CX's is actually an HP-67.

But look at the boxes! If the calcs were handled like the retail boxes, it's more than likely that there's a certain amount of waste in the box, including broken calcs...

But at least you've got plenty of spare parts. :)
