Probably the same reason someone would pay $15.50 for this. And it still needs to be rebuilt, and it's international shipping, which is substantial. At least the 12C housing makes some sense to replace one that is damaged, but I've never heard of a damaged card reader drive wheel.

Maybe I should consider selling off my calculator collection.
