Sad, true story. A few months ago I went to visit my Dad up near St Louis. When I walked in to his salvage / thrift / flea market store and saw what I did on the table, I 'bout choked. There was a BEAUTIFUL HP 15C box lying on a table for 5$. My Dad knows nothing of calculators and I said "5$? Really?" and he said "If you want it take it!" I sad "Dad I gotta pay you for it. I'll give you 105$ for it." Then Dad nearly choked. When I opened the box there was not a 15C in the box but a very nice HP11 with manuals, I'm talking minty condition. I told Dad he should put it on eBay and he said those magic words..."I have a box of about 20 more calculators, all HP here somewhere." My heart missed 3 or 4 beats. We looked around that shop for 2 hours and could not find them. Dad finally decided they must have been taken in the box by someone at his last auction. If so, it must have been intentional...they were never returned. I died a little bit that day.
