Rare pair

Well, that could've been us, depending on what day/time of day you found our booth. The best stuff usually sells pretty fast, and old TIs and Casios tend to bio-accumulate, like toxic heavy metals you can't flush from your system. If it was only a few old TIs and Casios, it wasn't us. If it was 20 sq ft of old TIs and Casios with a bunch of holes where the good stuff used to be, that was us.

Since this is a HP forum, I will specifically mention that we had no HP calculators for sale this year. I just don't find them that often in the wild, and the ones that do turn up tend to land in my own collection. On a good year, I might have one or two HPs on the table, and they vanish quickly. Every calculator guy seems to either ask if we have any HP, or complain that we don't have any HP, at which point I have to explain that I'm not some sort of mental defective who neglects HP out of spite. This year I even wore a custom-made HP 9825 t-shirt, but it must've been too esoteric because only one guy recognized it and he wasn't even a customer.
