Hi everyone,
I am going to sell a Curta type II on Ebay with prime number 549533. I don't know if the fact of prime number worth more in price. So I hesitate between fixed and bidding price. Can someone tell something about that ?
Thanks.
Regards,
Bardamu.

I never really got the "prime number serial = special" idea. The machine is no different from 549532 and 549534 in the way it was built, finished, or sold, and the version you have is not one of the unusual variations, it's the most common one - red and black sliders, greenish-gray casing, plastic crank and canister, I have two or three of them myself, I think I paid around USD550 for one and USD700 for another.

My recommendation is to make sure it looks clean, take good pictures, and use the "Sold" listings as your guide with respect to pricing. Best of luck pal
