The Auction for the Casio MQ-1 isn't a Bad price at $112.84...

so if the bottom is you, than you're buying 2 not one. looks more like someone is artifically raising the price.

 

[KoRn3000]

Hmm. Maybe it's time to bail out.

so the high bid is up to $157 for each of the mq-1's that means one bidder raised all bidders because he placed a bid for both calculators! so the last one that went for $100 was rather a "bargain". I don't see why anyone would pay that much for this. But hey, if it makes you happy.

sometimes you just want that last little something. $157 is still within "reason", price-wise. and by within reason, it's not much different from what they usually go for.

i totally agree with you. if it's the one piece you're missing and it makes you happy, go for it.
but here i see one guy bidding on both at $157 each, so if he'd win, he would pay close to $320 for 2 calculators. and one of the other bidders has placed a bid of over $157 as his first bid. looks kinda fishy to me.

 

[stormtrooperguy]

could be... i haven't ever bid on an auction with more than one available, so i've no clue how the logistics goes there.

here's hoping it's legit, and someone good gets em!

 

[yodakiller1138]

Why I shouldn't be legit? Does LEGIT mean legitimate? I don't speak english very well, I'm sorry. I'm from Italy, I searched in Google "Casio mq 1" and I found this place where some of you are interested in this calculator. So I simply put a message about the calculator I sell.

Here is the calculator auction

The ebay item is number: 280213504687.

I simply changed home where I live, so I want to sell some things I own.

Best regards from Italy (Turin - Winter Olympics 2006).

No offense meant. In the PROP COMMUNITY we have to be careful of "fly by nights" who take the money and run.

 

[volkerc]

so someone bought both for a total of $628

I'm the seller of the two Casio. I didn't think they could be so precious. I didn't artificially rise the price. The auction ended with 400euros. I send them. I hope they will arrive soon.

I'm a serious person! Here is my home page http://saw.altervista.org

My name is Paolo Guagliumi. The auction on ebay is ended.

I don't have other calculators. My mother was a secretary and her chief bought her those calculators in '70s.

That's all!

It wasn't FISHY! Forgive for my english, I'm from north of Italy, I live in Turin.

I received the payment. I thank the person who win my eBay auction. I already sent the calculators. I'm waiting for his ebay feedback. I will refund him for 20euros he gave me too much for sending the item. I wrote him, he didn't answer to me. I hope he will respond me soon.

I take the money but I already sent the casios in a strong box. So I hope they will arrive soon to the person win the auction.

As I told you I haven't other Casio at home.

Greetings One & All !
I have an AWESOME Casio MQ-1 I would sell !
I joined "The Dented Helmet" today and await their approval to send/receive posts. I thought I would give you guys the "heads-up" for this unit.
I have the calculator, the cover for it, the manual and the original box, with the $59.95 sales sticker still on it from 1977. It is mine. Dad bought it for me back in 1977 and I used it sparingly, at best. If interested, E-mail me and I will send you pix off- list. (MNGesq@aol.com)
