It was something like few hundred dollars that time

My first HP scientific calculator was $235. But, it also had injection molded keys so the numbers wouldn't wear off, a Teflon sheet isolating the keys from the electronics inside in case you spilled your coffee, and silver battery contacts set in silicone grommets to isolate the battery compartment from the electronics in case of a leak. Boy, were those LEDs easy to read compared to some of the LCD displays on the current throw away calculators!
