I think Calc84 has the best calc origins. ;D

Mine:
83+ - Parents bought for me at Staples.  My sister is uses it now.
84+ SE - Bought by my at Best Buy.
86 - Christmas present from my uncle.  I think it came from eBay, but I'm not sure.
83+ SE - Bought by me from eBay. ;D

83+ - From Carrefour (a French supermarket); I later gave it to my sister when I got my Nspire.

Nspire Clickpad - From Carrefour too.

84+ SE: Wal-mart
84+ BE: Fixed someone else's, but he already got a new one, so gave it to me.

83+: Radio Shack (big mistake, but Staples had no more calcs at the time and I did not want to walk 20 minutes to reach the Wal Mart). Radio Shack charged $159.99 for a 83+ while Staples charged $139.99 and Wal Mart $149.99 x.x

83+ (My other one): Got it from my bro in exchange of my Nintendo DS. He got his calc at Staples.

83+SE: Staples. It broke due to an OS glitch and I got another in exchange 2 weeks afterward

89T: Staples

I got my 16 other calculators on Ebay.

TI-84+ Radio Shack (back when they sold the good stuff :D)
Stolen in middle school :(
TI-82 borrowed from bro (mentioned in my prof) also from Radio shack
Got a big bar horizontally through the screen (bad ribbon cable)
TI-86 EBay
Bad Ribbon cable on it too, caused a weird short of vert and horizontal sync I could flex the calc and it would fix for a while, until it stopped fixing.
TI-Nspire ebay, brand new, opened with a scratch on the cover's lip for the cradle, $100! It even had all the manuals and warranty info!

Love the new sig, DJ, but I can't find it on ticalc.org.....

I would be scared to lend you one of my calc D:
* DJ Omnimaga takes his calcs out of reach from willrandship then runs away.

On a more serious but off-topic note, the sig thing was in ticalc comments at http://www.ticalc.org/archives/news/articles/11/115/115018.html on the very last comment page (depending of how you setup your ticalc account). It's split in 6 comments because it wouldn't fit in one. It's written in all caps so it shouldn't be too hard to notice there.

A lot of you seem to have multiple calcs O_O.
I only have one TI-84+SE, purchased for school from Walmart. (For under $100, IIRC, after several coupons (not me, I wasn't the purchaser :P))

Me too. I have one TI-83+ from Staples that my mom bought for school. If I only knew I could play games with graphing calculators from the start, then I would have probably asked my mom to buy for me a TI-84+SE instead. :P

Well, I only have one working calc of my own at a time :P

TI-84+reg: Dad bought it for me because I needed it for school
TI-89Ti: Dad bought it for me for Christmas because I kept talking about the 89 series... little did I know I was being naive about how complex the bugger actually is so it mostly just gathers dust... `-`

TI-84+SE: My mom bought it for me at a Swedish site named Tradera. I believe it's similar to Ebay.
