Could anyone tell me the current value of an NIB HP-16c?
do you plan to sell one here in the classified forum?
I haven't looked at or for any information concerning HP calculators in over a decade. I had no idea if the interest slacked off, or maybe died out with the older crew. To try to answer your question,
I do have some HP calcs stowed away, I hadn't even thought of in about a decade as well.
Maybe it is time to put them in the hands of some folks instead of cases in boxes.
If you sell it on eBay at a reasonable price, one of several full-time vultures will snap it up immediately, and then it will be listed in about another 7-14 days by them, at 2-3 times the price.
If you sell these here, they will go to loving homes, though possibly at a lower price.
So, it depends on your goals and priorities...
Your goal should be to get the best price!
HP-16C in pristine condition with manual are sold around 400 USD on eBay. If you have pristine one with box and all the stuff, a fair price is 500 USD.
If you sell a used one, the price deepens on the condition. A scratch one in well used condition is worth for me nothing. You have to decide the price starting from 1 USD dollar up to 200 USD.
Keep in mind that asking for a price and getting that price is another matter.
I would suggest to compare eBay asking prices (
here) with eBay sold prices (
here), compare the results then decide on your asking price.
Do not forget to check calculator state, accessories state and shipping prices, sometime it changes things a lot.

It sounds like CY-CL is a collector. Without criticizing what he values, I want to point out that I'm the opposite: I don't particularly want to collect calculators. I want to use them. So I'd be much more interested in a scratched up 16C than a NIB one.
My point is that there's a market for calculators in various conditions, although clearly some will bring a higher price than others.

Same, those battle scars tell a story.
