Calculators are provided at school so we don't have to buy one. However, DD is going to need one for home use.
In looking at them on eBay, W-M, Sam's and Office Depot here's what I noticed.
What sort of cord or cords come with the calculator? What cord or cords will she need?
Please tell me there's a difference other than the silver color between the TI-84 Plus and the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition. Of course, she wants the pink or purple one.

They're $115 after rebate at Office Depot.
I've found them as cheap as $102 with shipping on eBay. I am looking at sellers with a good feedback score and brand new unopened pkgs.
I could earn 1000 MyPoints by buying at Office Depot. I could earn 2 pts per dollar buying on eBay.

Any other advice you can offer?

TIA

I think the price difference is because of the "fashion" color so you pay more for it. I bought mine on Ebay and had to buy the "silver USB cable" to download updates, etc,. from the Texas Instruments website. Check the box/ad/listing carefully because this cable might be included. Just FYI, it took my 14-year-old abut 10 minutes to figure out how to do most of what he does on it.

I need to up my price, I have 2 for sale on craigslist.

Staples has the TI-84 Plus for $89.99 ($119.9 minus $15 instant savings minus $15 easy rebate).

The TI-84 Plus Silver is $99.99 ($129.99 minus $15 instant savings minus $15 easy rebate). You can also get them in pink or blue for the same price if your store carries them.

The TI-84 Plus Silver has more memory and comes with more pre-loaded applications/equations which can be used in higher levels of math and science. Both come with the PC cable needed for update downloads. According to DD, you can also download games!

I checked Staples online, the prices reflect $5 instant saving instead of $15. Still a good buy and cheaper than Office Depot.
Thanks.

The 84 was $80 at Walmart today. The 83 is what my DD needs and it was also $80. I check Target and they were 99.99 there. HTH

BTW, I think you can get covers for them, Walmart had covers in crazy styles, I'm pretty sure they were for the 84 and 83s.

I just saw this in my GAGDA (GA Good Deal Alert)...Maybe this will help? ~Lisa

There is a whole thread about this deal in Catch of the Day on Going to FishingForDeals! at office depot. I believe the TI-83 plus is $99.99 before rebates and the TI-84 plus is 119.99. Use coupon code 88440125 for $25 off $75! There are also 2 $25 rebates and the original poster was going to try and submit both rebates. I didn't need this, so I didn't do this deal, but many people are trying it. The rebates are for the TI-83 plus or the TI-84 plus. I don't see why you couldn't get at least one of the rebates for sure. Here are the forms:

I finally decided to not procrastinate any longer. I went through MyPoints for 1,000 pts which are already pending and ordered from Office Depot. Yesterday at Office Depot.com there was a 10% discount and I found a 15% on another coupon forum. The $25 coupon convinced me that I couldn't find a better deal. With one $25 rebate the total is right about $100.
Thanks, Lisa.

I have a $20 off $75 (I think it is) coupon for Office Depot if you are interested.

That might help.

I did have 2 or 3 of them, but the boys would always lose them. That is a lot of money for them to be losing!! argh!
