Here are the "good" and "bad" on this product.

.
ADVANTAGES
.
1. PRICE: I was able to purchase ten for $30. Although "Used," all were functional.
.
2. BRAND: Texas Instruments were among the first firms to market calculators in the early 1970s. I owned its first scientific model - $175. It reduced my need to calculate statistical equations from scratch and saved me hours of tedious work. My possession lasted 20 years. Since then, almost all future purchases were TI. Although I have tried Casio and no-name brands, the most dependable and durable was this brand.
.
3. FEATURES: All basic calculator features were present. Most important was the solar power strip, eliminating the need for batteries. A sliding plastic cover kept the keys protected from dust and physical damage.
.
4. DURABILITY: It is "classroom and kid tested." If the product can survive elementary children, it will last for years. Everyday at school is a torture test with the constant dropping to concrete floors, being tossed into a basket, and poked by little fingers.

Quality, low-cost classroom calculators
There appears to be some variability in what people are getting when they buy this set. It should be a brand-new, sealed box of ten.I bought 30, which came in 3 sealed, brown packages with Texas Instruments clearly labeled on them. Inside each package was a large envelope containing some literature, a large, folded poster of a TI-108, and a CD containing some PDFs with so-so teaching plans. An inner box contained the ten calculators, individually wrapped with a foam spacer. Each calculator had a slide-off cover to protect it. I removed the foam and was able to store 29 calculators in one box (with the covers still on the calculators).
