What you got for US$1,000/- ? A good working condtion was sold for US$100,000/- a few years ago. A mint one was auctioned for US$250,000/-

"Now, I probably shouldn't do this..." Yeah no, you *definitely* shouldn't do that. Yikes. Great video, though!

But, i must say that i miss it.It is such a outstanding piece of workmanship.
bigbzon (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
It was in a very good condition.The only "wear" was on the botton. Besides that almost like new.

@ JanPBIt was a Type 1, serialnumber 64993.It was probably worth more but the guy who bought(Morten from Denmark) it was a collector and he will give it a good home. And i only paid 13 cents for it. So, at the end of the day i'm happy.

@bigbzon You should have sold it for about twice as much (if it was in a good condition, esp. if it was Curta II - the one shown on video is the Curta I with fewer digits).

very impressive!

I've just sold it for $750.It was a collector so i know it will get a good home. This kind of thing needs to be preserved for the future.
