Dream of Omnimaga

You can probably just wait until June or August when various stores do big calculator sales. If you are lucky enough to find an European store that don't charge a lot for oversea shipping, then all you have to do is buy a TI-83 Premium CE for 90 euros then you just saved $20. Used ones might be cheaper, but some Ebay sellers might charge a lot for oversea shipping.

Else, you can wait until Canada got some for sale and take advantage of the poor exchange rate.

~$80 is still a lot for a (soon to be) poor college student.

Yeah true. Hopefully you can save and buy one later, though :P

Too bad DJ is so far from you. He could send you his CE. Or, you could always try GoFundme. What never worked for me might work for you... ;)

Actually, DJ only lives ~6 hours away from me.

Kinda surprising considering we are in two different countries, but not surprising I guess if your city is close to the border.

You can't do it like that, @Ivoah! You must state your purpose,  explain your intentions, give several links to increase interest, make it all look fancy, share it everywhere you can with some photoshopped "would-be screenies," and add some sentimental reason exactly why you can't currently get the money! The way you are doing it now is the same way I tried, and I am currently posting from a Nokia E63, not a gleaming and frequently cleaned beautiful Android.
You must think like a :ninja: :walrii: !

Wait, so, if DJ's not so far away, can't he just send you his CE? It's not like it's his only calculator. But you could always try to my :ninja: plan.

Well, seeing as a TI-84+ CE is like $100 I doubt he'd just give it to someone on the internet. But hey, I wouldn't mind if he wanted to ;)

You know your country is too big when you think 6 hours is close. Anything over 20 minutes away is far in my book. 6 hours gets me to france, dammit!

It takes ~30 minutes to get to the nearest supermarket for me, so 6 hours isn't too crazy.

~6 hours would get me about 1/6 of the way across the country ('murica)

Got some more progress, screenies, a fancy progress bar, project website, or any money(or maybe improvements) from GoFundme?
And I wonder if you've considered checking eBay? I saw a CE on sale, working but damaged, for $72. I don't know if it's still there, though.
Oh. DJ Omnimaga already suggested this. :-|
