Re: I wonder what "Limited Edition" means Message #7 Posted by j beede on 27 Sept 2011, 3:27 p.m., in response to message #6 by Bill (Smithville, NJ)
The reason I ask is that on their web site, HP says:
"HP 15c Scientific Calculator
4.0 out of 5 stars (6 reviews)
• Limited collector's edition
• Perfect gift for scientists and engineers on the go
• Up to 100x faster than original edition
• 120+ built-in functions with RPN"
I see people here claiming to have bought multiples of these calculators... speculating on RPN calculators? Imagine that!
I believe in a free economy but claiming that a product has limited availability when the truth is that the item is not limited at all seems unethical, or at least more typical of fast food marketeers--"at participating stores for a limited time only".
That said, I was pleased to buy a new HP-15C LE for way less than I paid for my "real" HP-15C ~30 years ago! Using the coupon I got a 15C LE from HP's on-line store for $85 with free shipping. Nice.
