The ones not now listed by HP are available on auction sites but the sellers tend to ask silly money for them. All prices are in GBP including VAT.

The price disparity is a bit depressing, but it's interesting that HP calculators still represent excellent value for money compared to the competition. Someone interested in the 50g might also be considering the Casio FX-9860GII - a manifestly inferior calculator, yet the latter costs more.
