33s at roughly same price as 50g nowadays?

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.

Thanks Martin, interesting numbers. On eBay US, a quick search shows a very wide range of prices paid, but on average certainly well higher than in Germany, I would estimate about 50 USD, while the 50g is higher, which is interesting considering one can buy a new one for about the same.

Was the 33S a popular machine in Europe? It is surprising to see someone selling them new for use, so many years after being discontinued. Most interesting is the price being paid for new and used is quite close, similar to the 50g in US market. Uneducated shoppers seem to be a worldwide phenomenon.
