That's actually a third-party seller, Samson Cables.  I think that buy.com is sold out!

$99.00? $200.00?

This is a shame. I paid $80 for a HP33s some years ago, thinking I would get a good calculator. I threw it in some drawer right after I got it. The buttons were horrible, unusable. All of their new stuff is. At least someone at HP knows it now.

Later I found an old HP-41CV. Nice sloppy buttons. All is well now. Makes me want to start an "affordable RPN calculator that isn't a piece of crap" project.

PS - My calculator can land a Space Shuttle, not that I'll need to do that in the uh... ever, but still, it can, or so I've read on the internet.

I have surfed the HP website and there are no HP-15C left, sold out?  There were listings in Amazon dot com, but it redirected to the HP sales website .  There are none lift.  It is not worth that much money for a vintage RPN trigonometric calculator.  My HP-11C from my younger years were worth $65.00 to $100.00 USD at most with the instructions book.  The current price for a new one from Amazon.com is $390.00 USD+$4.49 USD delivery.  It is not worth that much.  These businesses have been buying out the entire HP supply and reselling them marked up from $99.00 to $390.00, a +$291.00 marked up.  The listing in Amazon mentioned that more HP-15C will be available to satisfy the demand of both consumers and inflated price speculators by October to December 2011.  The supply is not there.  HP will not marked up the price and be at $99.00, firm.  Forget about the HP-15C, until HP increases the supply, which is present to next month.  The HP is not made by HP, but by Kinpo.  My recommendation is hold off on buying it, until supply becomes more abundant.  Keep checking the HP store's website.    By the way, it is available for $99.00 USD via HP Kinpo, do not buy for the independents stores that marked them up to a price, where you could buy a laptop for a vintage Sunpak 6502 core processor.

The touch tablet Android is still out.  HP will try to make more of them in a few months.  Do not buy from independent store, because prices are marked up too high, too.

They only made a run of 10,000 of them.
