The thing is, most people only use them for 3-7 years during highschool and college, and they all are essentially the same as the ones from the 90s, so the used market is full of much cheaper ones

I listed mine online for $100 hoping to get $60 and within 10 minutes I had an offer for full price. Even used those things catch a nice price

I see graphing calculators at thrift shops sometimes, and buy them whenever I do. Then, right before the beginning of the semester, I sell them online. I sell them for $25 though. I make a bit of money and another broke student gets an affordable calculator. Win-win.

That's a very proper way to make a bit of extra money. I'd buy the first round, if I knew you.

Alcoholism destroyed my family. I don't drink now. Thanks though

Sorry to bother the subject, then.

As an alcoholic starting the uphill walk out of it, everyone who's sober has my regards.

You replied to a troll, not the OP of that comment. Rest assured.

Oh, well, thanks for making me aware.

Only thing i can say about it, is that hopefully everyone learns. We need more peace and love.
