Please forgive me for saying so, but anyone who pays $3000 for a piece of dirty underwear should have his/her head examined. It makes no sense absolutely; looking at it, you can't tell it was worn by Douglas -- which would be the prime reason for buying it. I might as well cut a dish rag and claim it's a tampon that Queen Victoria discarded.
A $2300 HP-65 is okay if (a) money is no object and (b) it is in good working condition. After all, allowing for inflation, the $800 price tag it had originally would amount to much more than a mere $2300.
Paying $170 for a HP-32SII is also okay. It's a useful machine and the price is not too outrageous.
As you can see, I'm not a collector of things. 8^(
