There seems to be a glut of new-in-package HP 30b calculators from a couple of US accounts on eBay at the moment. One seller is selling them individually, and another is selling them in lots of 16 for US$500. Might be useful for someone who wants to make a bunch of WP 34Ss for resale.

I ordered one yesterday! I already have the 20b.

I bought a new HP30 calculator on Ebay in November 2020. It was new and in the sealed blister. Everything in order. It was from a US seller bound for Brazil (overdrive_motors). Arrived normally and works fine! It has no marks or malfunctions.

The last ones I bought in 2013 cost 20$ each (loose in a bag) and I had an offer for fully packaged ones for 27€ from Germany. Prices have risen quite steeply. I wonder if the WP34S is responsible for the price increase.

Also got one of them in the sale. Like with all sales (50g, 15C LE, 30b) hoarders/speculators bought large amounts of them to resell some time later at a couple of hundred percent margin. This has nothing to do with the WP firmware I presume.
