You don't see a lot of these coming up for sale. Right now the bid is quite low, but I expect a lot of last-minute action.

Would love to have one, but that one is in rough shape.
I was told by someone who should know (Tim Kent) that there are about 20 of them in very serviceable condition gathering dust in a closet at the Portland BLM office.
It sold for 8k. I'd be wiling to make a trip to Portland to dust those off.

Maybe plan on attending a PLSO Conference. Tim often puts on a solar compass demo with one of the units he borrows from the BLMs stock
sorry... hard pass... didn't have Bluetooth.

Sure, but it is wireless.

Man, $8k for a solar compass in 'rough shape' really shows how sought-after these things are. It’s wild to think there are 20 of them just sitting in a closet in Portland gathering dust while collectors are battling it out on eBay. I’d definitely make that trip to help 'dust them off' if the BLM ever let them go!
