If you want some cheap calculators, the site BachCompany.com has quite a few TI calculators, as well as other brands such as HP and Casio. This site also offers calculator related objects and tools such as software, overhead projectors, etc.

For people looking for the CX, this is also a good place for it.  I bought mine here, and I'm satisfied.  There aren't any damages, and they shipped to me in about a week.

For the normal CX $124.50:
http://www.bachcompany.com/product.aspx?ProductID=476

For the CX CAS $127:
http://www.bachcompany.com/product.aspx?ProductID=479

For Terms and Conditions (that has shipping details):
http://www.bachcompany.com/TermsAndConditions.aspx

I'm only putting this up to help, not to advertise (though it kinda is advertising...)

And for DJ_O: YES it does have Voyage 200s under $200:
http://www.bachcompany.com/product.aspx?ProductID=104  ($166.49)

The shipping and handling is a big iffy, but mine was a total of $132 from the original $127, which is still quite a bit cheaper than the base price for a CX CAS on other sites.  IMPORTANT: THE SITE SAYS THAT SHIPPING/HANDLING COSTS IS 5% OF PRICE.


TIPS (for eBay/Amazon): For now, these are the more obvious tips.
1.  ALWAYS look at a seller's rating.  Do not risk if the seller has a low rating.  If the seller has very few ratings (say, below 50 as a figure) and are mostly good, he still may not be trustworthy.  The object being sold may be damaged or non-functional.  There are people out there who make multiple accounts and rate themselves up.   A seller who has the Top-Rated Seller badge is always a good one to go with.
2. Go through buyer reviews.  See what they say and see if you like what they say
3. Check the description of the object being sold.  Does the description and/or ad look promising or hastily and messily put together?  Does it have a site? Does this site have a lot of buyers that are satisfied or that have at least bought from there?
4. CHECK SHIPPING.  An object may be cheap, but you never know what the shipping and handling costs may be.  If you can't find the cost, LOOK HARDER.  Don't get fooled.

Anyone may (and PLEASE DO) add to tips or sites that sell cheaply or are very well respected.

Cheesy  Have fun getting awesome calcs!


edit: Thanks to TechPoweredMath.com/youtube.com/techpoweredmath for the site! He used this site to buy his very own CX CAS

Maybe spoil this and say "This is not meant to advertise" as a description for the spoiler.

Spoiler for Still Alive:
This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

Aperture Science:
We do what we must because we can.
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive.

I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart and killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you.

Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And we're out of beta we're releasing on time.
So I'm GLaD I got burned think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still alive.

Go ahead and leave me.
I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
Maybe Black Mesa -
THAT WAS A JOKE. HA HA, FAT CHANCE.
Anyway, this cake is great:
It's so delicious and moist.

Look at me still talking when there's science to do.
When I look out there it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
I've experiments to run there is research to be done
On the people who are still alive

And believe me I am still alive.
I'm doing science and I'm still alive.
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.
While you're dying I'll be still alive.
And when you're dead I will be still alive.

Still alive
Still alive

Asked them my question and they quickly answered:
Quote from: BachService
Thank you for your inquiry, but, as per our Texas Instruments dealer contract, we are not allowed to sell outside the United States market.  We’re sorry we could not assist you more.
This is really bad for me... Amazon is much more expensive.

You could just buy one from your friend named Spyro for $35...

BTW: The forums are being flooded with spam again. This is what got it changed to >1000 posts last time. So keep it to a minimum.

The CX CAS has a CAS. That means it has a Computer Algebra System. A CAS can do all sorts of nifty things, like simplifying expressions, solving equations, and expanding polynomials.

Actually this topic is not spam. I asked the author if he could post it, to help people who are seeking for a new calcs. Staff should add new alternatives in the first post if they find any other good deals.
