RE: SOLD — HP-71B manuals
My cost effective alternative when I need some paper printed documentation is:
- look at available PDFs
- upload them there https://www.drucksofa.de/
- receive a "Paper book"
(I understand the wish for original paper docs; however sometime lowering the budget can make sense).

RE: SOLD — HP-71B manuals
That's a really nice idea, but in many areas, reports say that most print places will not print Copyright material, such as user manuals.

As long as you avoid the chains/franchises you can get prints made, but you'd be very lucky to match the quality of original HP manuals at a reasonable price. The fair price you listed your 71B manuals for would be nigh impossible to match. Not unless the print shop was willing to do the job at a loss.

eBay's full of opportunists attempting to cash-in. This seller is at least honest that what they're selling isn't original, but the price says it all.

I wish there were more folk willing to sell original HP documentation at £10-15 a pop.

RE: SOLD — HP-71B manuals
Indeed, Jon.

I'm just happy if I can get what I paid for things; not looking to make a profit.

In this case, the manuals came with my 71B, so I didn't pay over the odds for them, but the buyer who took that didn't take the manuals.

RE: SOLD — HP-71B manuals
I have replica manuals for the HP48/50 (some of which didn't even come with printed copies AFAIK) but prefer to have an original manual if I can get it at a reasonable price. That's especially true for those with colored print.

I even buy manuals for calculators I don't have (yet) if I can get them cheaply.

While the German manuals usually have very high quality translation, I still prefer the originals.

Thanks to the OP here for his very reasonable pricing and his willingness to use an alternative shipping service to make the cost of overseas shipping bearable.

You're very welcome! Smile

I agree; I've even recently ordered an HP-15C Collector's Edition, mostly to get the nice printed manual (with new Foreword), as I already have a perfectly good HP-15C from 1988.

I payed 36Eur, delivered Germany, 2x HP manuals, print of both sides of each page, https://www.drucksofa.de/ with black hardcover (it reduce the number of opened PDFs on my PC screen etc.).
