My son needed a calculator for his math class and since we just bought a full price one for my daughter we decided to try e-bay. Sadly the screen was dammaged, you could see the ink from last calculation. It still works but hard to see the numbers sometimes. It also has a number on the back, like it belonged to a class set (from a school maybe). We contacted the seller but he refused to cooperate with us, and we actually just gave up fighthing with him. Will I buy from e-bay again, probably, but only new items.
I BOUGHT THIS CALCULATOR BECAUSE I NEEDED IT FOR MY SCHOOL MATH CLASS. I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT IT HAS BEEN ALL THAT I NEED. I ACTUALLY DID NOT NEED TO BUY THE TI-84 LIKE I WANTED TO. THE BIG DIFFERENCE, FROM WHAT I CAN REMEMBER, IS THAT THE T1-84 CAN PLUG INTO THE COMPUTER AND THE TI-83 CANT. I ALSO SPRAY-PAINTED THE COVER OF MY TI-83 RED AND IT LOOKS SO COOL! MY FRIENDS ALWAYS ASK ME WHERE I BOUGHT A RED ONE. I TELL THEM TO GET A CAN OF SPRAY-PAINT AND MAKE IT YOURSELF. IF YOU SEE IT IN THE STORE AND YOU NEED IT, GET IT!
This is a great example of Ebay. This item would normally cost much more at any retailer that sells these items. Yet I found it for less with shipping on ebay and being that I serve in the military currently deployed the seller was more than happy to make sure I received it. You only find this sort of customer service from dedicated ebay sellers.
My daughter needed this exact calculator and wanted me to take her to Walmart. I said, "Let's check e-bay first" and sure enough....there they were. I waited till I found just the perfect one and snagged it at the last minute. My daughter loves it and is doing great in Math!!! A total Success Story!!
