33s at roughly same price as 50g nowadays?

In fact, on eBay, used 33S machines almost always go for much more than Amazon's price for a brand new 50g.

Ebay Germany, last 3 years:

1. 33s: 7 sold for 26€ average
2. 50g: 45 sold for 47€ average
   

So the main factor is that the 33s appears relatively seldom, at least here in Europe.
There is also a company in Poland which sells obviously new 33s without box, just wrapped in a plastic bubble pack, for around 30€. So not for the collector but for the user.
