33s at roughly same price as 50g nowadays?

I find strange that the machine is rarity, when I took the exam (2007) it was the only RPN machine on the list of approved calcs, so pretty much every engineer in the US using other HP calcs would have to get a 33s to take the exam (switching to algebraic mode on the one special day when you need your results to be 100% correct is not an option). As of today, only the HP 33s and HP 35s are allowed in professional exams. Perhaps the number of engineers is so small it doesn't make any difference in sales.
