These things were 130 bucks in the early 2000s, how are they still this expensive?

Because just about every high school math class in the country "requires" this model since most teachers only know how to do the lessons using this calculator. We had a different model that we gave our son and ended up having to buy him this one instead because he teacher would teach by example and if the steps were different then he kept getting lost/left behind.

ridiculous. I'm guessing somewhere out there, a pile of them are just sitting in thrift stores

It's crazy that these were so expensive. They required these when I was in high school in the mid-late 2000's and they were a rip-off back then.

Pretty good deal if you have to have one. I had a Ti-83 and used it throughout high school and college.

TI makes a quality product that lasts. We've used my TI-83 plus for over 20 years. My eldest used it for four years in middle and high school. I didn't hesitate to purchase her the TI-84 CE Plus last year. My youngest is now in possession of my TI-83 plus. I'll likely purchase her a TI-84 CE Plus in few years, and take back my TI-83 Plus. When I look around my home, I don't have many 20 year old devices still in service. My TI-83 Plus has held up very well.

Don't forget that $130 in 2000 is ~$200 in 2021, when you account for inflation.

there is this newest Casio fx-9750GIII model, that's even better than the previous GII above, currently at $41:
https://www.amazon.com/Casio-fx-9...B086Z7Q7G7

But that is not the problem here, the problem is, class and study materials are specifically targeting TI platform, with step-by-step key pressing instructions, locations of necessary functionality in the menus etc etc. Once you know, what are you doing with a graphing calculator, those Casios are cheaper and better, hands down. But for learning from scratch, while using TI-specific materials, is extremely frustrating for a young user.

TI-84 CE Plus - unless it's yellow, the average SOLD price for a used one is $80 + tax on eBay. Skimming the summary of ~200 sales in the past month, only a handful were around $60 and they were not the CE edition.

Yeah a lcd calculator is a calculator. Making it yellow doesn't justify charging more for them, they all do the same thing anyways. Just another way to rip people off.

Somebody should just create an emulator...


On a side not, too bad reverse polish notation never really achieved wide acceptance. It's so much easier to use.

Unless you need a calculator right now (which is probably very few people, as generally these are bought for the beginning of the school year), I would suggest to wait until the end of July, when both Target and Staples will have it on sale for $99 (as they have for the last 4 years) and you will have your choice to get the much nicer colors as opposed to the plain black one. Most kids like the blue one the most.
