Re: hp42s serial numbers Message #3 Posted by Jeff O. on 9 May 2012, 8:25 a.m., in response to message #1 by Dane Spillers
It was actually built in Indonesia in 2001. This is unit from the run of service replacements that HP manufactured after ceasing normal production and sale of the 42s. One day, it was posted here that the 42s had been found listed as a part on the HP web site, free for the ordering. Once it was confirmed that the "part" was indeed a whole 42s calculator, they quickly sold out.
But I digress. I would think the value of the unit would be driven mostly by its mint, unused condition. But if you sell on eBay, by all means tout its special status as one of the last units made.
