Walmart isn't exactly the right place to sell a business calculator, I conclude. Staples still sells the 10BII for $36,99?

Too bad it is not true. You could make a killing on eBay!

I was unable to open the photo site with the pictures (I'm temporarily on dial-up).
I posted a couple of months ago about HP10BII calcs being sold at various Walmarts, in the US South, at least, at cut rate prices. I bought one in Athens, AL, for $17, and another in Blytheville, AR, for $11. For the money, they're quite nice.
I keep hoping for them to do likewise for the TI-89, which they sell for $160. One-third price is about all I'd pay for a TI.

I particularly like the notion that it's sold as "Party Supply"!

I wander when we'll see the HP35S and HP50 in similar situation. And wouldn't be surprised.

I wonder how much Walmart actually paid for them?

Three years ago, I got ten 12C, those with the 3 button cells, for 20$ apiece. They were being sold out as the shop replaced them with Platinums ... .
I then asked 100$ per unit on ebay and they were gone quite rapidly ;).
A strange world.
