And big, clearly visible, LEDs!

And a large, uncluttered keyboard with just one shift key. On the '67 even the basic stack commands like x<>y, R↓ and R↑ are shifted, and so are most mathematical functions. Here the sheer number of available keys on the '97 clearly makes most operations much more relaxed.

Most often, "mistake in the listing" = "sold direct to someone, not going through eBay, thus avoiding fees, etc."

The FBI should investigate! :D

Sorry Massimo, I missed the old-school smiley. And I should note here it's a sad day when I need to see an emoticon to even notice humor... well, it was late in the day here...

Indeed $950 is a very high price, and even I have a 95C this is far away from what I would pay (by the way, the machine itselve was not that much more expensive as you might guess). I know the original owner and gave him a fair offer but he said, he has to ask "friends" before, he promides to sell it to them .......

What's going on in the mind of people?

There were probably less than 10 sets of manuals like this produced ever, so, really, really rare.

He won't get my money, but he will get it from someone.... no doubt some high-end collector out there has one of the few 95C machines, but no manuals, so adding these will make it far more valuable than 'just' $950.

I agree, it's too much for me as well, but we both know that good sense and reason is not relevant with some collectors when it comes to ultra-rare stuff like this.

And look, it's no longer available....
