Ten HPs For Auction - Six are boxed

[Siegfried]

While I generally agree with your equalling "EBay untested" with "defective", I am not that sure it will hold true for this sale as well. The seller being a charity is imho less likely to misrepresent what they're selling and might simply not have tried to test what was probably a corporate donation (many of the same model in similar condition) for lack of batteries, etc.

The (lucky?) buyer will soon find out.

I would have had to add foreign shipping, customs plus a bribe for the wife, all facing a slower market in Europe, so I decided not to bid although I was tempted.


P.S.: It says "Randolph High School" on one of the manuals. If the lot really comes from a school, then wow to having pupils use HP-15Cs and HP-32S rather than the ubiquitous TI-30. The lot should probably go into a museum as "the last HP RPN calcs used in a school before TI took over for good" ;-)
