I just heard from ND's math librarian that an offprint of Alan.  
M.Turing, ``On Computable Numbers, With an Application to the  
Entscheidungsproblem,'' Proc. London Math. Soc., 2(42) (1936),  
230-265 is being offered for about 13K by Andrew Hunter, http:// 
www.rarebookhunter.com/

Our librarian also noted that there have been several offers on e-bay  
for various mathematical articles either in the original journal or  
as a offprint.  These offers explicitly mention they do not want  
copies from libraries.
