RE: Cheap RPN calculator
Let's see, the cheapest RPN options will generally all be financial/business models. The 12C and 17BII are probably the most affordable, and the 17BII solver lets you do some surprisingly complex "programming". Watch out for the 17B, though, as it has no RPN.

Stepping up slightly, you could consider the 19BII (again, the 19B has no RPN), or the 95LX palmtop. Both of those are getting you considerably more than the features of a basic calculator, which may adversely affect the value proposition for you.

I don't remember if the 35S is discontinued, but if you're okay with the unfortunate amount of bugs, it might be a good option. I'm pretty sure the 30b is discontinued, and the keyboard tends to be a bit dodgy anyway.

Of those, if I wanted a basic calculator but with RPN input, I'd lean toward the 17BII. The advantage, of course, is that it's also a damn fine financial calculator. The solver and list-based stats give it remarkable flexibility. (I was using mine for some daily medical logging for a period of about 7 months.)
