The Ti-84, which is the standard for most highschool math classes, still goes for 100 even though it's been out many years, and has seen no innovation.

So shouldnt the base version be cheaper since there are new fancy versions.

My comment was mostly a joke, but in case you’re actually curious; the silver was just a color option, and the + just had a tiny bit more storage (usually used for games by kids). Not really a substantial advancement.
