What a neat idea.  (they probably won't do mining)

Oldest I have (working until the batteries went flat last year) is a Sharp PC-1211.

Let me know when the difficulty level increases so that I can fire up the Commodore 64's.

I don't think I can work with for-parts calculators right now, I'll let you know Monday though.

What condition is it in? Does it include the cable and cover?

Keep in mind, we don't sell these in a retail outlet, we pretty much hand them off to a distributor who warehouses all kinds of these for sell on eBay and wherever else they do business. :P

Everyone else please reply with the condition your calculators are in and what accessories will be included. I will PM you all prices on Monday (I'll post the prices here as well) and work out shipping costs / details then, too.

No cable, but it has the cover, and it's in very good condition, and has games pre-loaded.   I might just sell it locally though if you're selling to a reseller, I can't see much BTC coming from this :)

Hey, I could serve you with a TI Voyage 200+, which is basically hardware compatible with an TI 92+ but has a bigger screen and a full qwerty keyboard(and more memory).

You will probably make more money selling it locally, I can pretty much guarantee you that. I'm still speaking with our guy but I think I will be able to offer you around $28 for it.

Et al, I was super busy at work today and didn't get a chance to work out prices yet, I'll be doing that in about an hour.

...or with a series of them hooked in parallel. Less heat generated.

How much for a TI-89?  I'd have to get batteries to make sure it's still working, but I'm 90% sure it is.

What'll you give for a working, with batteries, no cover, fished-out-of-the-trash TI-83.
