If my prices are way out of line, please forgive me, no insult intended...I just dont know what these are worth. I tried to pull values from ebay...
dmyhill,
I did email you. I don't think I can afford one right now, but for what it's worth, I don't think those prices are out of line. At least from the research I have done. Of course you can only sell them for what people will pay.
Good luck,
Tom
SX? mighty old stuff there! From the condition they are in in the photos, prices seem ok. But, like thatdamsurveyor said, can only get what people can pay. I've got 5 gx with various level of DC cards, ain't letting go of them!
With the surveying card and a RAM card, I think you're priced right. Somebody will pick them up at that price.
That looks like a fair price to me...I still fly out to projects with that set up as my back up. Especially with that enviro case...beats the TDS strongbox metal monster. Ingenuity use to calibrate my instruments 10-12 years ago when I was in Nevada.
I like my HP 48sx. If I didn't have the one I do, I would gladly pay the asking price. Mine says "Made in the USA" on the back, and it is made solid. I have never had a problem with it. I think they made the first "roll-out" in the USA and then shipped the manufacturing out to Singapore or somewhere.
The HP 48GX was not made in the US (if I am not mistaken) and ones I have seen that my friends own have a 'bug' with them making them hard to turn on. You have to press the upper right corner of the calculator at the same time you press the on button (if I am remmembering right). Something like that anyway. I saw one on the desk of an engineer that works here, and I picked it up in front of him and fiddled with turning it on. He was surprised, and said it had stopped working and he couldn't figure out how to get it to turn on and thought it was "shot". The GX is bigger RAM/ROM and more powerful, but I like my sx for calculating and don't need the extra size. I don't use it for data collection and don't know about that.
If you want a good-working calculator that can do everything you want, I definitely like the sx as something to use. Having the TDS card as a back-up to your data-collection setup, might be nice as well. Can't you use that card to do survey calcs. as well as a software?
