I actually would have agreed up until the point where I decided to price the 4000 Swarovski crystals I needed for the sole purpose of bedazzling an antique box camera (about $250).
I’d say this item is for leprechauns, they have unlimited supplies of money, and can buy green bedazzled calculators to add up all the rainbow colored sums of money they aren’t sharing with the rest of us. Bastards. If they’d only lend me $250, I’d have my own bling to flash around.
the cost of school supplies is just ridiculous these days. I’d buy this but I just dropped $350 for a sterling silver ruler…ya know, something practical!
The big, rubberized buttons can hopefully absorb the impact of the large, bejeweled talons that will be leaving their indentations on this fugly thing all day.
$400 seems like a high price, but you’ve got to consider all the long hours those Swarovski miners have to work in the Swarovski Mines, digging the raw Swarovski out of the shaft walls with their bare hands, only to suffer from Swarovski poisoning later in life due to inhaling all that Swarovski dust..
It’s the jumbo kind because once you’ve been blinded by the bling you’ll need the huge numbers.
I guess the maker didn’t realize that you’re supposed to use the adhesive in a well-ventilated place. It does explain why they think they can get $400 for it.
I don’t understand why this is featured here. Those are *Swarovski* crystals, worth at least $1 each. Add to that the time invovled in placing them and the creativity, you’re looking at a serious piece of art there. It even goes with your attitude – green with envy at the talent.
@Clare-out of who knows how many hundreds / thousands of people who read these, 13 people didn’t get your drift-so when you say ‘you people’ I guess you mean them? Or is it too obvious?
#36 Wondering- well we all know hand made means buy some cheap china made shit. put some glittery stuff on it and BLAMO call it hand made you can get $400 for it. didnt you know thats perfectly acceptable? (sarcasm)
also other companies make the same glittery things. how do we know those are Swarovski brand and not Preciosa knock offs, or that she didn’t order them from Oriental Trading? Wal-mart has these things too!
No photos up close, no photos of it in use, not clear if the listing is for ONE or the whole tray, and the worst? $35.00 shipping for an $8.00 item? Those must be some HEAVY tiny hearts! And her whole shop is like that….
This is such a joke. The photo makes it look like one of those gag universal TV remotes that are the size of a textbook. If it is as big as one of those, I think it couldn’t possibly get any more annoying. (unless you put a vagina on it)
My iPhone is pretty glitzy and has a calculator and didn’t cost $400! For that price you could buy half a computer with all sorts of calculating devices on it.
OMG! It actually IS as large as a freakin’ textbook!
Product Description (from Afura’s Amazon link)
Extra Large Calculator. Features 8 digit display on and off buttons 5 functions and pop-up screen. Measures 8-1/4” x 11-5/8” and is only .5 thick.
At first I was thinking a small, pocket-sized calculator bedazzled in this shit would be annoying and gaudy. But good gravy, this is like one big festering neon distraction! lol
@59 mickey: I went to a Swarovski Gallery in Innsbruck and brought back some pencils with crystal where the erasers should be (they were the cheapest thing in the store besides the postcards).
So I guess the market for my Swarovski embellished cellphone with matching pave car isn’t going to fly. Damn, I really thought my design career was about to take off. Do you know if the craft store will take returns on 285,467 glue encrusted crystals?
OMG. LMAO. Considering I can get real Swarovski crystals fairly cheaply, I aasume that the $400 is labor. Hopefully, this person will actually learn about pricing. Maybe $30-35 for real. Now if those were actual emeralds…….
August 27, 2010 at 4:46 pm
Is that Liberace’s calculator? Large display from his later years
August 27, 2010 at 4:48 pm
*phew* We double checked the math and your correct =)
August 27, 2010 at 4:49 pm
with that price tag it had better prepare and file my taxes too… is there a button for that?
August 27, 2010 at 4:50 pm
bwahahaha, what shit.
August 27, 2010 at 4:50 pm
Gotta’ love the fact that all items come in an ‘eco friendly’ recycled reusable bag-like anyone who’d buy this would care ….
August 27, 2010 at 4:52 pm
I don’t think these Swarovski crystals are what you think they are.
August 27, 2010 at 4:54 pm
$400 for something I could do with any cheap calculator and a Bedazzler?!
August 27, 2010 at 4:55 pm

August 27, 2010 at 4:57 pm
That’s a bit overkill for me. Am I simple and unelegant for thinking my Staples bought calculator does what I need just fine? o_O
August 27, 2010 at 4:58 pm
gleampunk?
someone once told me “it takes a lot of money to look this cheap” guess they were right

August 27, 2010 at 5:02 pm
it’s unattractive, impractical and in the right light, blinding
but on the other hand anyone who’d purchase it clearly has no sense of how real money works and therefore clearly needs a calculator
August 27, 2010 at 5:02 pm
By this rate, a TI-83 covered in crystals would cost over a million dollars.
August 27, 2010 at 5:05 pm

this one still probably knows that 2 + 2 = 4: http://www.amazon.com/Inkology-Calculator-Single-Assorted-642-8/dp/B003RRJGIA
…and all for $6.60
Oops! And someone just left this on Facebook – HK
August 27, 2010 at 5:15 pm
Those don’t look like real Swarovski crystals to me…looks like the peel ‘n press kit you can buy at Michael’s for $5 or so….
August 27, 2010 at 5:20 pm
Anyone dumb enough to shell out $400 for this tacky thing deserves to get shafted.
August 27, 2010 at 5:21 pm
That looks like one of those giant cheap calculators they sell near the registers at Hobby Lobby.
August 27, 2010 at 5:27 pm
Heh, must be new math.
August 27, 2010 at 5:27 pm
the only way this is going to sell is if they say it is a “twilight” calculator and that it “sparkles”
August 27, 2010 at 5:42 pm

August 27, 2010 at 6:00 pm
The first thing I thought of when I saw this was Yogurt from Spaceballs. Seriously. I dunno why!!
August 27, 2010 at 6:00 pm
WOW HK that is some pretty actuate math right there.. Genius!!
August 27, 2010 at 6:21 pm
wow – $400 and it takes batteries? For that price I want a solar powered calculater that purifies the air.
August 27, 2010 at 6:44 pm

NEVER EAT TACO BELL WHILE SURFING REGRETSY!!!
Lesson learned. The hard way.
August 27, 2010 at 6:47 pm
Gah! Wrong picture, ignore that
August 27, 2010 at 7:00 pm
I think I saw this at Claire’s for about $392.00 less. Of course, they were honest enough to label theirs as adorned with Swearoffsky Cristles.
August 27, 2010 at 7:20 pm
I bet some fan is buying this for Adam Lambert as we speak.

#31 I would explain it to you, but am afraid it might take too long and you might never fully understand.

Maybe these are the very crystals from Jennifer Love Hewitt’s snatch.

Actually, I just got this same calculator at Family Dollar without the crystals…for a dollar. I’m…not kidding.

August 27, 2010 at 11:40 pm
Guys, the screen *tilts up*. Obviously this technology was lifted from the future. She needs the $400 to fuel her time machine!
August 28, 2010 at 2:12 am
You can get this in Next for £5

This is what Paris Hilton would use if she knew what math was .
August 28, 2010 at 7:06 am
They should get more of these. http://www.etsy.com/transaction/18466904
It’s the only thing sold so far.
August 28, 2010 at 8:36 am
Awesome! This will go great with my gold plated 8-track tape player.
August 28, 2010 at 8:52 am
Someone, somewhere, is calling their credit card company from their cubicle to see if they have enough room left to charge this thing.
“I don’t care how much it takes. That bitch Lindsay will DIE when she sees it.”
I, on the other hand, will not order this until there is a matching paper clip cup available.
August 28, 2010 at 9:11 am
swearoffski.
August 28, 2010 at 11:28 am
Obviously made for Paris Hilton, although I did not know the she even knows how to do math, let alone use a calculator.

the mayor of munchin city in the merry old land of oz loves crunching numbers in emerald city with this thing, i bet
August 28, 2010 at 2:34 pm
ridiculous
August 28, 2010 at 9:03 pm
Hot baby cheese, I found it, awesome $20 calculator. That’s so great to cover a fairly inexpensive non-branded generic calculator in $350+ worth of gems. Where did I put the password to my paypal account..

I wouldn’t pay $400.00 for that calculator. The 0 button obviously sticks.

I can’t afford high tech bling to do my calculations; I guess I’ll just have to invest in a regular ol’ crystal pen to do my math…
