Yes, that's crazy. Yesterday I got a Casio Graph 35+ E II (the French market version of the fx-9850 GII) in the mail for which I paid 14.80 Euros (9.80 for the calculator and 5 for shipping). From a commercial seller and new in it's original blister... It reminds me very much of the HP 39gII, at least in appearence, keyboard and colour scheme. Unfortunately the display of the Casio lacks the pixel count of the HP.

The fx-9860 GIII does not seem to have made it's way to Europe yet. Maybe it is not intended for the European market at all.

My only "problem" (I would not use this word for this kind of thing...) is that - despite the Python label on it's packaging - my 35+ E II does not come with pre-installed Python. One needs to flash it to the just realeased operating system 330_b2 for that. Which only works from a Windows PC. Which I don't have nor want to have.
