ticalc.org Autographed Calculator For Sale
Posted by Michael on 20 July 2006, 19:17 GMT

The autographed TI-82 that we mentioned in the previous article is now listed on eBay. This unique calculator is autographed by eight ticalc.org staff members (Isaac Salpeter, Magnus Hagander, Nathan Haines, Andy Selle, Nick Disabato, Eric Sun, Phil Genera, and Joey Gannon).

The auction will end on July 30 at 11:20:43 PDT, so hurry and bid! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of history. All profits from the auction will go towards paying ticalc.org's hosting and hardware costs.

Update (Joey): The auction is now over. Thank you all for your support!

0x5 I wonder who will actually pay for this. It's just a TI-82 with some writing on it...

With that logic, why would I buy books, just some paper with words on them.

0x5, because a TI-83 or TI-83+ would have been far too chiched.

It would be better if it was a 68k calc.

This give us a differential equation assuming a 20% increment, then {dP/dt=.2t; P=Po when t=0}, a inicial cost(Po) of $30, and assuming that it will be a ten days bet (t=10); then P=Po*e^(.05t)wich aproximates the final cost in กกก$220!!!... I think it's pretty possible that the TI-82 will be sell at that price...

You got the final price estimation right as well as the derivation, but not the equation. :P

well, i'm shure that nobody would pay $220 for a TI-82, but for a AUTOGRAPHED TI-82, with TICALC Staff members sign on it,.. yeahh i think its possible

I'll take your word for it then, too lazy to work it out myself (and too long since I've done any calculus).

i like derivatives, but i prefer integrals (with the occasional 3d parametric curve which has completely nothing to do with computing the price of the millions of ti82 autographed calculators out there, but hey!)

Actually for the 284 people who looked at the auction only five different people have bid, people haven't been very interested in buying, more just looking.

Now, now. Don't be greedy. Keep in mind that there are myriad girls who also want their very own Isaac Salpeter, Magnus Hagander, Nathan Haines, Andy Selle, Nick Disabato, Eric Sun, Phil Genera, or Joey Gannon.

Don't flatter yourself by slipping yourself in at the end of the list there, Joey.

All the girls have already read about your exploits through my news articles here. They are staying far away.

Maybe the fact that he wrote WFRNG will outweight all that...
