Thinning my collection

[Matthew Currie]

Hello, folks. It's been some years since I was on these forums, but I'm back, and trying to clean house. I have some calculators which I hope some HP lovers will like, at prices I hope are tempting.

I think you can email me through the forum, now that I am registered. If not, please let me know here, and I'll try to figure it out. I would like, if possible, the price listed plus the cost of shipping by reasonably cheap USPS in the USA. For other countries, I am not sure how. Paypal or money order or just about anything will be fine.

1: An HP 48G+ with 128K ram label. Clean, in case, with manuals. Along with this is an 82240 thermal printer, with four extra rolls of paper and instruction manual. The printer does its self test, and responds to the calculator. $50 for the lot.

2: An 18C that looks to be clean, and appears to work fine. It has weak batteries and a dim display but still goes. Includes its manual, a Training Guide from Grapevine press, and "How to Use in Real Estate." You can have that bundle for $20

3: A 10C in good working order. Serial #2237A07081, USA, well used and not minty, but it works fine. I'm under the impression that these are a bit rare, so hope $25 will do it. Has a soft case that may not be the correct one for it.

4: A 12 C in good working order, but pretty rough and very well used, with manual. You can have that for $10. USA serial # 2804A00185. Not a museum piece, but it's a nice user.

The following are free for shipping:

5: A 32E without rechargeable battery, does not work. Brief display flash when starting cold, then nothing.

6: A33C without rechargeable battery, dirty and rough. It did work well but stopped. I think it may be the switch.

7: A 42S that does not work. Display is dead. Keyboard beeps on input. This has unfortunately been pried open and the bezel is badly damaged. It's dirty too.

8: A clean looking 10B which shows no sign of life at all.

Finally, for those wishing something other than HP, I have what is said to be a rather rare Sharp Elsi-mate EL-5001. It's a bit dirty, but in good working order and should clean up well. Appears all functions work, battery terminals are clean, and the original rechargeable battery is with it. For those unfamiliar with this one, it has a drum switch that changes the functions of four top keys to run different built in programs, and is, apparently unique in this. $20 takes it away.

Somewhere I also have a couple of the old TI calculators, including a printer, but have not dug them up yet, and including one that as I recall was a third party variant. If someone is really interested in these, please let me know.

My physical address is in Vermont, USA, and although it is possible in a pinch to use UPS and the like, it's a bit of a trip from the boonies here, so USPS flat rate or the like is the best for me. So expect shipping to come to something this side of $20 for most of the items here. The more you take at once, the cheaper it is. As there are no fortunes at stake here, you can pay on receipt. And if you have a good argument for why my prices are too high, I'll at least listen.
