I'm looking for a Texas Instruments TI-83 Plus, doesn't matter whether it's the Silver Edition or just the regular black, has anyone seen a deal on these anywhere?

I'd rather pay the cash for a new one since I'd be losing quite a few games to even out a trade for the calculator. Thanks for the offer.

pawn shops maybe worth checking as well as flea markets. Just bring a pack of batteries with you
I bought a new silver one off of ebay last year for $100 shipped.

I finally broke down and bought one for my stat class a year ago. No deals on these fucking things. it sucks.

Some people in my school steal them straight from the school's collection. Since we have some Calculus classes, they provide the calculators for us and of course people are going to take them and sell them. Usually they go for $25 without the booklet, but you probably won't be able to find someone who will be able to do that.

I agree.
Best bet for you is to check Ebay or wait to see if there's an add where the price is slightly reduced.

Getting lucky can work...my mom found me a TI-85 at a garage sale. The man wanted a dollar for it...so that's what we paid. Not quite as good as my NES find (http://cheapassgamer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15805), but still very nice. :D
I don't know what to tell you, though...if you want new, you're screwed. Your best bet may be to begin looking for coupons for office stores - stores like Staples and Office Max sell them, and if you can find something like free shipping or $10 off, that's something...right?

Unless its a new Ipaq, it probably wont run it. I love emulating it though, works just as good on my Pocket PCs are the legitamate calculator. provide your own roms though, Here is a link to the Pocket PC Emulator....:

I got my 83 a couple years ago but I just recently bought a 89 which I would recommend you get instead if you are going to take calculus or differential equations. The 89 can do integrals and a lot more so it cuts down on the time to work out problems.

You might find a good deal if you wait a bit. They're always go on sale in August before school start. I got one for $80 two years ago.
