What has been the most you ever paid for a calculator?

[Maximilian Hohmann]

Hello!

Of the ones that I bought for calculating (because I needed a calculator then) it was probably the Ti-59 in 1978. Around 400 German Marks it must have been. I only ever paid more than that for desktop computers, laptops and my iPad, but I don't see these primarily as calculators - even if I did several figures of magnitude more calculations with them than with dedicated calculators...

My most expensive one for collecting is a very nice HP-01 for which I paid something like 1100 Euros followed by a Curta 1 for 550 Euros. For all my other ca. 1000 calculators I paid mostly 2-figure amounts, lots of them even came for less than 10 Euros. I guess that I paid about as much for my 10 most expensive ones as for all the others together.
