We bought one a few years ago from a former college student who was through with it on EBAY. It was less than $100 dollars. It had scrathes on but we didn't care. Good Luck!

Have you tried www.craigslist.com? Is a great site for those of us around the Dallas area.

I don't have a calculator for you, but I have a couple of suggestions of how you can put the word out. Try searching on craigslist.org. There is also a web group called FreeCycle (freecycle.org). You sign up with your local group (there is one for McKinney) and then can post for items you want, items you want to give away, etc. The idea is to keep items out of our landfills by finding folks who may be able to use items we would otherwise discard. Good luck!

Have you looked on Craigslist? Also, sometimes they sell them used at the bookstores on campus. Hope your daughter has a wonderful 1st year!

I get all of my supplies like that items at Staples. You might try Best Buy. I am not familiar with that specific type of calculator.
Check online sources such as Ebay, Craigslist and sites that sell calculators.
Good luck.

I bought my son a used one on EBAY for $50.00 but it did not include the accessories. However there were some that did. It was in great shape and came in three days. Some friends did the same thing for their son and also had no problems. Good Luck!
