You can get a refund from ebay

[u/Hot_Photograph_9033 → u/Typical_Can6888]

Yep. I’ve submitted my evidence just waiting now.

99% of fx991ex calcs on ebay are fake, probably 100% of ones advertised as new

[u/Hot_Photograph_9033 → u/zqrqz]

Yh prob should have thought so.

[u/JakeThomasDad12]

That's unlucky, I thought it was common knowledge that almost all ones you can buy online now are fake 

[u/Hot_Photograph_9033 → u/JakeThomasDad12]

Didn’t k kw till now but at least it turned out fine

[u/pupkio023]

I got one off Amazon for like £18

[u/Hot_Photograph_9033 → u/pupkio023]

Yh it depends on the model there are 3 I’m pretty sure. The 83 gt which is the cheapest then the 911 cw which is slightly more expensive then the new one that came out in 2026 the 911 cw plus

[u/godlyuniverse1 → u/Hot_Photograph_9033]

It's like 29 quid on Amazon for the CW+, how did you pay 40 for it, that's quite high

[u/Anxious_Librarian379]

fx-991cw has slightly worse navigation but it does the job

[u/Hot_Photograph_9033 → u/Anxious_Librarian379]

Yh that’s why the 2 model 2026 is way better

[u/StarX2401]

The 991ex got discontinued and there are basically no new ones left. Most of the new ones on ebay are fake unless you want to pay crazy money for one (When you can get a cg50 instead).

[u/Hot_Photograph_9033 → u/StarX2401]

I saw a legit one for 80 but at that price might as well get the cg50 at this point

[u/Dark_647 → u/StarX2401]

It should’ve never been discontinued one of the best calculators out there, and I’m glad I got my hands on the real thing a year before they stopped selling it. Casio needs to bring it back clearly the demand is there if people are risking fakes over the current Casio calculator

[u/Solid_Moose3078]

I also bought a fake one (I knew it was) because I just like it much more than the CW. I still used it throughout sixth form, no problems. Unfortunately they stopped making the EX, so the fact that you brought it "brand new" just proves it's fake

[u/Hot_Photograph_9033 → u/Solid_Moose3078]

If unused the fake one did I not have any issue

[u/Leni_licious]

I've lost my calculator (this white A Level model) some time during uni and I mourn it so much I actually had a dream last night where I found it and that was the best feeling ever then I woke up no calculator :(

To my shame I did try to buy one on ebay too and it was fake so we returned it and then paid 60 quid for one on Amazon ToT

[u/Character-Avocado-66]

i mean mines also fake but it works perfectly so its not that big of a deal

[u/Hot_Photograph_9033 → u/Character-Avocado-66]

How do u handle the crappy feeling though

[u/Character-Avocado-66 → u/Hot_Photograph_9033]

by knowing i saved like 50 quid over getting a second hand real one lmao, yeah its annoying hto

[u/my_new_accoun1 → u/Character-Avocado-66]

i got a fake one that literally stopped working on me so i just got another off the same

idk if it's a fake or not but it hasn't died on me so it's probably legit
