TI-84's continue to sell at ridiculous prices for one reason: schools strongly recommend them in part because the textbook manufacturers feature them. Schools get some price breaks when they order them, and nobody wants to buck TI. TI trains the teachers!

As long as TI keeps selling them, the system won't change. And I won't hold my breath waiting for TI to update the DBD range; students don't use that.
