Well, let me tell you, if you're selling it on eBay, good pictures and an interesting presentation might net you hundreds more than if you take a couple of muddy cellphone pics and call it a day. Have a look at the SOLD listings and see which ones make the highest prices, then emulate that.

Selling here you'll miss out on the fees but also the possibility some crazy eBayer will pay you $1700 for an $800 machine...best of luck to you regardless

I'm not sure what it's worth, but other than missing the box, it is in mint condition. The case is metal, with the left handed thread. Jack Christensen's timewise site lists similar models for 2K, but eBay seems to have some similar machines selling for 1200. I would happily sell it for 1200, but will take the best offer.

Cheers!

As Pete noted - this Curta is in the range of 800 to 900 US$. Above this price range you will find only buyers who believe that this particular Curts is worth to pay more... Try the one dollar game (means: sell it at eBay, starting price US$ 1.00)

Good luck :!:
