Actually I have seen (and bought) the one or other HP calc on flea markets in Germany, but that was long time ago, and not very efficient. Of course it's easier to get some goodies in and around Corvallis, since there are many HP employees, and it was the former 'calculator' division.
However, some of my best HP calculators are those I got for free from colleagues, friends, or relatives.

I see hp calculators all the time at garage sales but we live in Corvallis where HP is the largest company in town and most people use HP everything.
In the past I never looked twice at the calculators since usually they are $10-$75 at garage sales. I know they are worth the price they are asking but I don't currently have a use for these, I get by just fine with the few calculators that I already have. After reading the wonderful information on this website, I now know that there is a market for many of the calculators that I see. I will be taking a closer look at those calculators from now on.
I am always amazed at what people sell at garage sales for little or no money and the other things that they want a lot of money for. The $1500 Le Corbusier chairs I buy for $20 each, yet I see items that are sold at Kmart for $50 & they want $40 for that one. But that is what keeps me going to those sales, it is a treasure hunt.
Have a great day,
