What has been the most you ever paid for a calculator?

Hi, all:

Quote:What has been the most you ever paid for a calculator?

I bought a brand-new just-released HP-67 for the equivalent of $500 back in 1976. Best spent calculator-money ever though it left me broke, it was quite a lot of money at the time (43 years ago), especially for a teenager.

Most sadly, I had to sell it in order to be able to buy a barebones HP-41C, and then I discovered that I couldn't run my best HP-67 programs unless I also got a Memory Module (which I didn't expect) and couldn't read my mag cards or write new ones unless I had an expensive card reader for it. That took much longer to get so in the end it was appreciably more expensive.

40 years later, I paid $250 for a truly mint HP-15C and $200 for an HP-10C in excellent condition. Again, well-spent money, nice little machines.
