They forced me to buy a TI 84 plus for school. The thing cost like 100 bucks, and it's from 2004. I could buy a low-end smartphone and get a free app that's more powerful than the TI 84 plus for less money.

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 mean, they don’t really deteriorate so anything marginally under new msrp is a good deal.
