What a bargain! Message #1 Posted by Eddie W. Shore on 24 June 2012, 12:43 p.m. At the Azusa (CA) Swap Meet, I bought a HP 28C for$3. The batteries is going tocost me more. The vendor had a HP 48GX for sale too. Update: Could not resist, it was only $5 and the one ai have at home has dog chewing on it. Edited: 24 June 2012, 12:54 p.m.

Re: What a bargain! Message #2 Posted by Les Koller on 25 June 2012, 2:02 a.m., in response to message #1 by Eddie W. Shore About a month or so ago I picked up an HP-48GX at a local flea market for 25 dollars....box, books, warranty cart, pc cord...whole thing looked mint except for the box, and someone printed a name o the cloth case. Good things happen to good people, no? Congrats on the finds.

Re: What a bargain! Message #3 Posted by Iqbal on 25 June 2012, 5:57 a.m., in response to message #2 by Les Koller On Ebay a few months ago, I bought 8 HP48G's in mint ondition. The only flaw was the back case was etched a name. The buttons were crisp and the rubber feet look like they never touched a surface. The calcs even had that distinctive "HP" smell. The owner said they were being sold for parts for $50. He said they weren't working. Apparently he didnt know how to operate the calculators. Anyway, his loss was my gain.

Re: What a bargain! Message #6 Posted by Eddie W. Shore on 25 June 2012, 7:52 a.m., in response to message #2 by Les Koller Thanks guys! Now does anyone know how to open the battery door on this thing? Edit: Got it. Have the calculator closed and push the door out with a penny. No wonder these did not sell well - the battery door was a struggle. LOL Update: Turns out purchasing the 48GX was a great buy too - mine was only a 48G. Edited: 25 June 2012, 3:43 p.m.
