It's worth more than that as as-is, IMHO.
Until the HP 39gII and the upcoming HP Prime, it was the speed king for scientific calculations as demonstrated by completion of the 2500-iteration Savage Benchmark with the same result as the HP 50g, in 6.5 seconds rather than the HP 50g's 65 seconds.
It's financial, but it also has a basic set of scientific functions as well. I love the sturdy physical design...much better than the Voyagers and the Pioneers, IMHO.
I have two, plus I have a WP 34S on the way.
