- Two working and clean HP-21 calculators (Museum Link)
- HP-21 Owner's Handbook
- HP-21 Applications Book
- Locking "Security Cradle" for Woodstock-series calculators that comes with two keys, instruction sheet, and original box.
- 82026A charger (for use with Woodstock-series calculators) in original box
- [edited to add] Working HP-48S calculator with owner's manual [/edit]
I have bought and sold on eBay, Craigslist, and (back in the day) Usenet but I wonder whether those venues, or perhaps the Classified section of this forum would reach the widest audience of interested parties. Any advice from sellers?

Just as a point of reference, a few months ago (maybe 6?) I sold one HP-21 with Carry Case, Owner's Manual, Applications Handbook, and Charger on eBay. Everything in very good condition, all working. The battery box had been carefully opened to allow a new set of NiCd batteries to be inserted and the box put back together. All this for the grand total of $50 plus shipping. And, I was glad to get it, because there were other auctions out there with the calculator alone, or the calculator and case, etc, for similar.

Don't get your hopes up too high, and good luck with your sales.
