Maybe it was just a fluke? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=260154099638&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=016 I own a Curta Type I that has a serial number very close to this one. Mine is #21299. Thanks for any input, Mark Akron, Ohio |

Curta prices do fluctuate a great deal depending on a variety of factors. In today's market, this sale is 25% higher than typical even for a pristine Type I with box and paperwork. The overly enthusiatic bidding by two or three bidders seems a bit odd to me. |
