Of course. I paid $5.00 more for mine two weeks ago. Still happy with the purchase which included free shipping.

I'm no expert on the Prime, but the Technical Specs section on that page seems wrong. I don't think a Prime is a solar calculator with a 4-line 31x96 LCD screen. Which makes me wonder if the $229.99 price tag is actually accurate.

Those were just copied from the HP 300s+ specs page. Just another example of laziness by HP. List price is indeed $229.99 on the Prime.

Wow! It's £93.95 in the UK, before VAT=sales tax.

The HP Calculator page also says you can buy an "HP 12C English Calculator" for $31.99 (regular price $49.99). You can also buy an "HP 12C Financial Programmable Calculator" for $69.99....

Current price for the Prime is $183.99 on the US site (4th of July sale), but they are listed as out-of-stock.

I managed to get a couple when this thread was first posted, which is timely since I have twins taking AP calculus next school year.

The HP Prime is currently selling for $125 at the U.S. Amazon site (or at Walmart).

Searching in Amazon Germany additionally gives me a price per weight ... Maybe a new measure of the true value?

Please, one pound of calculator and 3 apples. ;-)

On the Netherlands HP site, the Prime even leads to a dead link.

I know the HP calculator business has been dead for years, but it still makes me sad.

Waiting for Amazon's Prime Day on HP Prime

For Europe I would probably recommend buying from The Calculator Store.

Best option here is to wait until the end of the school year, and buy second hand. That goes for all graphical calculators here, by the way.

I was just saddened by the neglect on the Netherlands HP site.

In Europe Calcuso (Germany) offers the Prime (and all the others) at much better price: 113€

I was not familiar with this site. Is this the correct link to the HP Prime at this store?
