I'm holding on to my HP15C which I bought in college in 1987, still have the receipt. My boss here was looking for a good RPN calculator and figured he might find that one on eBay cheap. WRONG! Turns out that very good examples of it, complete with manual and case are about $300 to $400. Even one with a broken LCD display was still over $100, more than I paid for it new. Not sure when (or why) HP discontinued it. They still make the financial version (HP12C) which is the same form factor, just different button assignments.
I also have an HP48G+ which is still RPN. Not sure if it is still made or not. I got the '48 about 5 years ago. Some of the '48s have expandable memory slots, however, mine has 128k fixed RAM. I've seen where people have programmed it to use its IR port as a remote control! Hmm, wonder if the HP48 can be used to control the K2?
