This is exactly what makes OpenRPN more feasible and logical by the day. It was a no-brainer for me to recognize that we could make a product that surpasses the quality of the classic HPs and still sell them for a fraction of what you would have to pay otherwise.
The ebay sellers will still have the same market, because the old machines are worth more to them than someone with utilitarian motives. Exactly the same situation has existed in the musical instrument market for years longer than what we've seen for calculators.
So the purpose of OpenRPN is to supply actual end-users with a viable alternative. Auctioners such as Coburlin are exactly the equivalent of antique dealers. Prices prices may fluctuate but will continue on an upward trend. Look into the economics of antiques.
