Have you charts for repair and other parts? $150 is not really cheap, but for a complete set, including the box, all the manuals and a spare battery pack it isn't that steep either. But I guess most people on this forum already have more 25s than they'll ever need ;-) I only recently decided I like the spices too, so I went for the 33E (will be my first one) and the 31E (only have a bad one so far). RE: Vintage HP Calculators for sale - HP 25 STILL AVAILABLE, (HPI 31 & 33 - SOLD) - Hlib - 04-25-2016 06:58 PM Harald, I do not accept politics of modern business. Firms SHARP, CASIO, JVC and others sold in the USSR their products together with all charts. I personally bought and I know. Now replacement of resistor for repair of HP is comparable with a moon flight. I do not understand this secrecy. Purchased 3 brandname things of SHARP ZQ - 201b in new condition for $20 for them all. But to give monthly earnings for the arithmometer of HP - 25 (salary for a month in the Ukraine is $170) - I do not see any sense. For example, I bought in 2014 AFX - 2.0 (made in China with fake serial number), but this was a complete dung. I have real AFX - 2.0 (made in ..., and I know it). 95...99% of engineers, that checked my two HP - 50 and one HP - 48gii, declared that 48gii is of real HP-quality, but not HP - 50g. Very strange quality for the modern brand?! It is disgrace for HP RE: Vintage HP Calculators for sale - HP 25 STILL AVAILABLE, (HPI 31 & 33 - SOLD) - Accutron - 04-25-2016 08:37 PM So, it's okay to pay 100 times market value for Sharp organizers (they are e-waste and can be bought for literally pennies a pound), but it's unreasonable to pay fair market value for a desirable HP-25? How much do you think he should ask for it?

How much do you think he should ask for it? For the USA - $200, but for the North Korea - $20. A dollar has a different cost depending on a region. It also needs to be taken into account.

How much do you think he should ask for it? Well, I guess it is unreasonable to pay a monthly sallery for an hp 25 if a tool you can use is what you are after. You can get much better value for money. So he has got a point there. But on the other hand, if a collectible is what you are after, then it depends on wether you are willing to pay it or not. If it was a monthly sallery for me too, o probably still wouldn't. For most of us in the west it is much less then that and that is why the market values are what they are. |
