Don't ever say that there are no bargains to be found on eBay. Not to gloat but, I just took delivery of an HP-27A from the following Buy-It-Now auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3065608425&category=50575&rd=1
Yes folks, $10.00 for a working condition HP-27 with case. I've seen just the case go for three times that. Heck, two years ago I paid $75.00 for a non-working unit.
To make it even better, I picked up a perfectly functional HP-17B from him for another $10.00.
I'm over here in my corner cackling with such glee that my wife and daughters are threatening to have me committed.
That may not be such a bad idea.
