too poor for my own good

[Duane Hess]

Well, one could say its about HP calculators, since that will be the items identified. However, its more closely correlated with my extreme lack of wealth or poor financial planning history. So I decided to post in this category.

I was awoke to my unrealistic awareness of reality when other posts on this site mentioned the $10,000 HP-9810 listed on one of those "sale" sites. At first I thought it was an unrealistic seller.

However, today I realized it was me after seeing the $1,000.00 and $10,007.77 HP-16C listings at that same site. Obviously, my sense of value has been askew. I was hesitant, at first. Then after noticing the one unit wasn't $10,000.00 but $10,007.77 it dawned on me my brain was being silly. Certainly a seller who's listing is $7.77 off what would be an obvious even "bait" price must have a firm sense of value. Especially when the seller previously sold a 16C for $10,007.77.

Just wanted to confess my lack of sense now that I realize I'm looking into the wrong used sale items.

Need to change my interests to more sensible things like used thimbles.

... I feel better now.
