That is quite possible. The other two reasons that I've thought of when I was selling a spare calc was that
1) I bought it at the flea and I didn't know it's history, so it may have "been pinched".
2) I didn't want to give it's # on ebaby and set myself up to get shook down.

As an aside to this; It must seem just amazing to people now that a four function calculator without even a decimal point from 1971 would have an individual serial # stamped on it.
