Like even if I went back for school again, would it even be useful?

I remember it was nice for getting values out of functions and getting some results on tests I didn't want to solve algebraically...but I imagine it wouldn't be much use even in grad school over a Ti-34.

Can probably only get like $30-50 out of it, but it's been sitting in a box for five years.

I personally would keep it only because the price of these graphing calculators does not seem to go down despite how old they are, should you ever want to get another one. I kinda want to replace my Ti-83 Plus because the buttons are kinda stuck but my Ti fx-115ES scientific calculator has been sufficient.

I occasionally use my TI-83 Plus for Block Dude, but that's available online if I really want it.

Ya, TI calculators are like mineral assets... their value only goes UP. In 20 years you'll be able to sell your calculator for like twice as much!

Considering you can get more capable graphing software for your phone for under $10 (or even free), a hardware graphing calculator isn't really all that useful.

can't think of many reasons you'd need a dedicated calculator outside of school, unless you work in accounting or something

I kept mine but rarely have a need for a calc. Good to have when you do need it of course.
