Unfortunately my father-in-law passed away and he was a prolific collector of Anita calculators. Not really sure where best I can advertise these for sale, there are (so far) about 10 working models of the smaller desktop variety but also many type Vii, VIII and 10's that are untested. Alongside this there are many other smaller ones in a "spare or repair" state.

Ebay seems to suggest numbers ranging from £200 - £500 per piece.

Any advice greatly received.

The £200 plus price point is a premium price, I would suspect this will only be for the oldest "Nixie" tube or Panaplex display (typically large, orange and with a dropped decimal point) models fully working and in excellent condition. I've never seen one as high as £500 on eBay, but then that's so far above my price range I seldom look! The basic LED pocket calculators I would estimate £20 to £40. But it all depends on what models you have and their condition.

Ebay is an excellent sales system. If the calculator is interesting the price will increase even beyond its real value.
An ANITA from the first series is unlikely to remain with low offers.
It would be interesting to know the list of calculators you plan to offer for sale.
Best regards
Antonio

I’m not sure how this reply applies to the inquiry from Feb 22, 2024.

Here is the translation from Stars21 website:

Percentage is a key function in the calculator, which simplifies the way we interpret and calculate parts of a whole. With just a few clicks, you can quickly calculate how much a number represents in relation to the whole. Whether calculating discounts in a store, calculating interest on a loan, or simply determining the percentage of a number, the percentage function in the calculator is essential. Its ease of use and precision make it an essential tool in various everyday and professional situations. In addition, the calculator allows you to work with percentages intuitively, making it easier to understand and manage key mathematical concepts.

Hi.

In respect this message from a couple of months ago,... have you made any further steps about the Anita calculators? There are still some avalaible?

In my engineering school at Huesca (Spain), there is a small exhibition of early calculators at entrace hall. We will love to exhibit some item form your father collection. Even it could be refered as a menory in the collection files, if you agree, as we think is repectfull to track the legay   of the items,

If you could send me a listing of  them a how you prices,  I think we can make a deal.

best regards

Hi,
I have a few fully working comptometers plus some unusual slide rules and adding machines. Might the University of Huesca be interested?
Email me directly. En Ingles o Español; me da igual.

Of course, we will be  interested as donation, as we have a very limited funding from volunteer charities. The shipping cost will be assumed by our side.
Credit is givne to donators.
