Hot Deal on the HP 30b calculator

[Michael de Estrada]

Well, the party is almost over on this deal. The price has now increased to $12.95 and there are less than 10 pieces remaining in stock. You can still buy them NIB for $18.95, and I even saw a few for sale at my local Office Depot for about $30.

Alas, that was and still is a very local party. So much about globalization.

Make no mistake, globalization is about the availability of ever cheaper labor for producing ever lousier products, not about improving the availability of better products at cheaper prices!

Just checked and there are now "More than 10 available."

Also, TAS notes that there are "36 people viewing this item per day"

The awesome power of the MoHPC forums... Wielding economic power like a laser.

And, yes I'll get a couple more too, since the WP-31S and other derivative 34S spin-offs are looking quite interesting. Now if only someone (cough, Eric) could make some quailty 31S labels.

I bought 3 when they were $10 ea. Turned 2 into WP 34S's and gave the third to my GF (still a 30b) so she could learn RPN.
So, do I buy a few more or convert my GF's 30b into a WP-31S when the time comes?

Perhaps I should consult my assistant.

Got two by having them picked up by a friend who happened to be in the US at the right time but haven't been able to inspect them yet. WP34S labels are ordered but I might leave one "native" for the time and wait for a WP31 to materialize.

Mine were 12.95 BTW.

@Michael: If you buy more than one or two you might consider using a remailing service or maybe someone from the Forum can forward them to you.

I just saw an ebay USA listing for an HP 30b NIB that ships internationally. The price is $21.95 USD plus shipping, which would be $14.59 USD to Germany. The listing number if you are interested is 231208730577.

Also, eldoradotrading (Bach Co.) continues to sell the open box HP 30b for $14.95 + $4.95 shipping locally, so it seems the actual supply is unlimited.
