Bought my Ti-85 at Wallyworld 8 years ago. Cheapest prices then. I would start there first before going to a "Best Buy" type of place.
Is the Ti-89 the one that folds in half and can draw a 3 dimensional object? |

At the college I go to you can get one pretty cheap in the gift shop. If you really need to get one cheap you could try that, but I think if you went to a wal-mart the price should be ok, you wouldnt save much money by shopping around. You could wait for a "back to school" sale too, there usually cheaper around then too.

Also how cheap is your store |

You can also use the Ti-89 on the SAT, you cannot with the TI-92 because of its QWERTY keyboard.

I have to throw in a plug for the HP48GX, which I still believe is the most powerful calculator ever. With a memory card and some programs downloaded off the internet, you can do almost all of the stuff you aren't supposed to be able to do on a calculator. The HP49 is supposed to be pretty good too - it's supposed to be like a GX with more built-in memory and some of the best programs already on it.
