HP-25 PARTS
It is hard to believe that some people destroy a vintage calculator to get more money for it.
http://www.ebay.es/sch/mgpalias/m.html?_...ipg=&_from= The chance, that this item will ever be put together again is zero if the parts are sold to different locations. Instead it could be easily repaired. At least I hope this is not a common case. Bernhard That's one small step for a man - one giant leap for mankind. |

(of course i've no relationship with the seller )

You can easily see, that the parts make a complete set. Bernhard That's one small step for a man - one giant leap for mankind. |

RE: HP-25 PARTS
Hi,
Not so much money has been done with these auctions...probably he would have got more just selling the whole and saying "not tested". We trend to pay and risk a lot...thinking "well, this guy does not know how to make it work" I have bought the board offered...I need the ACT (if it is OK)...for 10 USD I assume the risk. I live in Spain, so the shipping cost is low. I found it was an opportunity to repair one 25... By the way, is it me or the prices of HP stuff are raising uncontrolled! I see "destroyed" not-working 41s without ports/side covers, contacts, pouch, etc. for not less than 150 USD...what to say about (working) 65, 67, 41...250 USD minimum...many boxed 67 & 65 for 400-500 USD,; even the 41 modules or 67/65 Pacs have crazy prices... (150-200 USD) Also there are many and very expensive HP-35. Between 100-120 USD used to be the average price years ago, now not less than 200 USD if not 300 USD.... Of course, there are always exceptions and one thing is the seller's price and other is the really "paid price"...but anyway, maybe it is overvalued by the owner, or it is getting objectively more worthy, who knows!! Kind regards, Ignacio |

(150-200 USD) Indeed... a couple of years ago it was quite easy to get most pioneer series (excepting 42S) for under 50 euros. Nowadays 32S and 27S usually go over 150, and 17B are advertised arround 100. Fortunately, from time to time you can find lower price units; I got a 32SII, almost new for 45 (the seller was only shipping to Spain; if he had made it available for the whole EU...) |

He is a honest person, after seeing no possibility of repair of this unit, he wanted to give spare parts to others and not making money. As we can see the whole unit, even defective, gets more on ebay than selling the parts, so it will hopefully not become common practice.

RE: HP-25 PARTS
Hi again,
Yes, of course, I know him and is a good Guy and honest. My intention was to remark that he offered the parts, because the whole positively doesn't work...he could have got more just saying the usual: not tested or I don't have the charger...sorry if I gave another impression ...I express myself much better in Spanish ;-) Regarding the board...when I get mine working I offer to send it to you, just for the shipping cost.... I am pretty sure it is the act...but I have to confirm. Please contact me for that during the next week. Kind regards Ignacio |
