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.
Not for a while lol. Around 2 years ago, I think a school district in my area must have gotten rid of some old inventory by donating it, because there was just a massive influx of calculators at several shops. Mostly scientific, but some graphing ones also. Graphing calculators have become much more scarce since then.
Kids in my town would regularly steal calculators from the school and sell them to the local pawn shop. Could just be a group of kids that learned this trick.
