sounds like anti-competitive behavior…
Isn't that how the ti calculators in the states make a killing?
Can I ask why they can't be approved for uni examS ?
Best to probably ask the universities who make fat commissions from proprietary calculator sales…
University of Sydney would accept this.
Not sure about other universities but UNSW has a list of approved calculators with a list of criteria your calculator needs to meet if you want your calculator to be added onto the list (probably not worth the effort). This calculator is not currently approved for use at UNSW.
Last time I checked this was the cheapest one on the list: http://m.ebay.com.au/itm/School-Office-Handheld-Electronic-S…
Was only 4 bucks last time I checked about 6 months ago, old school type not the new order of operations type
You could get it approved, has to be shown to one of the staff there so they can check it over and add it to the list, don't know how hard this would be though
so all students are using the same and need to do the same functions to work the problems out.
due to some that can be reprogrammed, or allow graphing/solving of equations etc
$40? A true ozbargainer would never pay that much. Paid $12 i think for my Sharp calculator (approved)
1+1= window
I really don't know why i bought this, i have a scientific calculator on my Note 4 .. i think to relive good old coll days :) Thx OP
You bought it because you are an Ozbargainer.
when a bargain comes along - you must flip it!
before the broden gets them all - you must flip it!
you will never live it down - unless you flip it!
Landfill………batteries will cost more than the calculator
Agreed. A lot of Casio calculators take a single AA battery, and Eneloops work fine in them too.
but the battery lasts for years and years in them.
I buy calculators with solar panels so you don't need any batteries. Scientific ones probably need batteries and I would get AAA ones over cell batteries. At the end of the day, you can download a free app top do the same.
@abacus:
I have a calc with no solar and the battery would be ten years old (I would say even more but I think it was when my son was born)
does it detract from the deal? how many scientific calculators are solar powered and reliable? that's like saying a $10 external dvd burner isn't a deal because a 50 pack of blanks costs more
There's an App for that.
Does the app cost more than $2?
No.
Are you going to have the calculator in your pocket everywhere you go?
Yes…
Of course not. That'd be silly. I am putting it in my bag.
Bought one thanks!!!
You could vote also, OP's like that.
sorry I am pretty new here. done! :)
Got 2. Really needed them. One for the nephew
Nice, got 2, another Xmas gift for school kids
Trust me, they'll love it :)

Lol!.
Who in their right mind wants less of those??
Good deal, the cheapest scientific calculator I saw was $10 from office works
http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/insystem-in…
pity you cant price match it!
I seriously gotta stop buying sh*t I don't need.
Welcome to ozbargain.
Depends on your definition of "need". Did you feel a sense of joy/calm/relief when your order was successful? If so, your day is now that little bit brighter and we all most definitely need that! :)
I purchased about 5
About five? You're not sure?
Once he receives the calculator/s, perhaps he'll be able to work it out? ;)
I see what you did there
Ohh that nice
He? I'd be thinking female, with that ID.
Think of he, as in mankind, or human rather than a specific gender ;)
he needs a calculator to work out how many he bought
EDIT - beat me while I was typing with my clumpy fingers
Darn it ! Had a feeling someone was gonna comment on it ..my apologies
Just out of curiosity, why would you need 5 calculators? For your kids?
Broden. Profit.
I need it for uni .. got 4 other siblings that use it for uni/school 😊😊
@PVA:
I actually did not think about it when purchasing it .. but I will find out .. I am pretty sure should be fine ..
It's a Dick Smith brand calculator - aren't you all worried about how well it does math?
Dick Smith is renowned for percentage off sales that must be worked out using some different form of math than most of us use.
What's math?
Muuuuum, doorknob is picking on me!
Lol. Maths. Maths!
Oz-ness aside, I want one of these that can do funny graphs.
According to the instructions, to take off 50% I need to add 60% first…
So, 20% off original price?
Math vs. maths
Math and maths are equally acceptable abbreviations of mathematics. The only difference is that math is preferred in the U.S. and Canada, and maths is preferred in the U.K., Australia, and most other English-speaking areas of the world.
Neither abbreviation is correct or incorrect. You may hear arguments for one being superior to the other, and there are logical cases for both sides. One could argue maths is better because mathematics ends in s, and one could argue math is better because mathematics is just a mass noun that happens to end in s. In any case, English usage is rarely guided by logic, and these usage idiosyncrasies are often arbitrary. If you were raised in a part of the world where people say maths, then maths is correct for you, and the same is of course true of math. Don’t listen to anyone who says otherwise.
So, "not listening to you, doorknob!"
Wow. That's kewl.
Though, we are in Australia, where it's best to use Australian English, which is based on British English.
If you're American, then welcome. If you're not, then why would you use American English in a country that doesn't use it?
Which country doesn't use American spellings for at least some things?
Although many people I know would (playfully?) call me a pedant or a spelling or grammar nazi, there are a couple of words that I just don't seem to care too much about. Maths or math, I can live with either.
American language is banned in England. Anyone caught using it is hung, drawn and quartered outside the tower of London.
I almost bought a very cheap calculator that I don't even need.
One day you will buy cheap shit you don't need, that is the day you are a true ozbargainer
To be honest I thought they got rid of these and moved them onto our phones
can't use your phone at school in class.
Thats why they are cheap no one uses these things anymore but good find OP
Student still use this thing for exam. They are not allow to use mobile phone during exam lol..
all out of stok!!!!!!!!!
I just got mine from Fountain Gate, VIC
Bought two for no reason… :S
I've selected the store which I want to pickup and completed the order.
2 hours later I got a phone call from the store. Staff told me that the product is not in the stock so they have to refund me back.
I accepted the refund.Same shit here!
Thanks op. Bought 14 for all the family. Going to Pretend they were really expensive so everyone feels like they have to pretend to like them. Christmas shopping complete.
Haha awesome !!!.
Hope there isnt an ozbargainer in ur family :)
I'd much rather use a calculator than the App on my Note 4 when im working in my study. I guess I'm old school hey.
If anyone is doing $10 Secret Santa, what could be more exciting than opening 5 calculators!!
I bought this at Garden City WA today. It was not marked at $2 but that was the price that came up on the regiter.
i saw about 10 at Chirnside park VIC today 4pm
Perfect for calculating your OzBargain savings op :)
Limit of 5?
$10 postage?….makes them $4 ea?
I think it's only click n collect ..
Edit: take that back .. yes delivery option is available
cheers got the 5
kids are only in yr4 but bought a couple anyway, store them away until they're in high school
Wonder if this is good. Bought a Casio one in high school for $20. Still lasting, 8 years already!
Expired
link is now broken. I searched the site for "calculator" and a non-scientific for $9.98 was the cheapest.
Picked up one …all good
Haven't got my C&C ready and yet :$
You should Give them a call .. sometimes it's just there in their store and they may forget to put it aside for u
Thanks, he just processed it when I got to the counter.
BTW 4 of these left at SA west lakes on thsi shelf marked full price
I click n collected 5 calculators. My local (Mentone) store later emailed me stating that they had none in stock.
:/
pity you probably can't get these approved for exams at most uni's… gotta fork out $40 for a casio lol…
