WalMart and other stores have been closing out the 12C. I bought one at WalMart for $35. It is made in China, has printed keys (I think the 12C keys used to have molded-in legends)and the keys are smoother looking. I saw someone in the Museum Classified ads offering a 12C, manual, and slip case, mix or match, for considerably more than $35, no mention of vintage. I think he wanted about $12 for the slip case - you can order this from HP for $6!
HP has some new models, low-end for students. One is called 6s, very plain and poorly documented. Another is 30s which is kind of interesting, a sort of dual LCD, fancy molded case, different colored overlays, no bound manual but a big foldout instruction sheet with many functions.
