Could anyone who knows good prices for calculators such as HP-42s, HP-28s (not HP-48SX! I am only a poor college student!), CASIO 7/8000 (+500), TI-81, TI-68, and some sharp calculators whose model I do not remember. I'd used a casio-7000G for many year and until 3 days ago, when it was lost. I now need to buy another one. I like my old calculator, but it is not my habit to buy identical calculator twice. But the choice is difficult. TI-81 is good but it lacks complex number capability which TI-68 ironically has. HP-42S sounds good except that it does not plot graph of any sort. HP-28S is beyond my purchasing power unless there is a very good deal on it. I am not very familar with Sharp, but I heard that it also has a graphic model. If you have any information about a good deal on calculators or used calculators or some other calculator within the same class/price range, I would be grateful to hear from you through email. I will summarize the response to post it here. Many thanks in advance.
