I can't stop thinking your comments may fall in the "it doesn't hurt to ask" category. If you need a poor, humble, hp fanatic buyer for a 15c or 16c, please let me know. I will mow your lawn for a couple years, plus cash. Hopefully you live in Phoenix. (Airfare could kill the deal).

Shame on you. ;-) I lucked into purchasing two 15C's in "very good" shape: one at a local garage sale ($30 with manual & case) and another (via a friend) from a pawn shop ($50 with case). Scour the desert and you just might get very lucky...if you happen know folks who regularly visit pawn shops, garage sales, or swap meets, offer a "finders fee" and give them a shopping list...

Probably could. I don't water it much.. it's mostly for kids to play on - not for lookin' nice. > I lucked into purchasing two 15C's in "very good" shape: one at a local > garage sale ($30 with manual & case) and another (via a friend) from a > pawn shop ($50 with case).

I've been driving by garage sales real slow lately, but it's kinda hard to see a 5"x3" calculator from the street, through the windshield. Plus it's real sunny here... (that was for JHM). My problem is I don't need a 15c. I want one. And I really hate ebay. So based on your experiencs, and advice, I will get out of the car for garage sales and pawn shops. Cheers, Pal

All except one of the 41CV's, the 48SX, and 50G were picked up second hand. The 41CV and 48SX were my college friends. Honestly, the 15's are a sentimental favorite and they tend to be my daily usage calc's (along with free42 on my PDA)...I leave one 15C at home and the other at my desk at work. Brent. |
