I think most old calculators are simply trashed because people can't imagine that they are of any value to anybody else. I have had so many conversations with people about me collecting calculators where I got ten answer: "Oh! I didn't know that... we just threw out a box of my father's office stuff including his calculators". The only goo thing about that is that it makes our old calculators even more rare and precious.

NB: TAS = 1984 style newspeak for eBay. Just call eBay by it's name and all will be fine. 1984 did not happen in real life!

You're right. A couple of years ago I was chatting with the brother in law of one of my uncles. He told me he trashed his TI 59 + printer because he thought it would not be useful to anybody.
Myself, I trashed several Husky Hunters but it was a decade before I started collecting.
