Why is the mini $11 more than the basic???

I assume it's because the mini is designed for use on paintball tanks. Basic is designed for use on regular co2 tanks, if you want to use it on a paintball tank you'll require an adapter.

Although I only own the white version I am pretty sure that the internals are identical. The price differences are a fine example of marketing in action; the more popular item (=higher demand) is priced higher or in simple terms: you take what you can get. By the way, the prices are also different in Germany where we live half of the year. Prices are much higher there and black is the cheapest version because customer preferences differ from the US.

It's cheaper since it's the latest offering from Casio and they're trying to encourage current owners to update and prospective buyers to get the model that looks more "current". In some Asian countries you can still find the FX-991MS selling for $30 USD, but any newer models are around the $20 mark. In case you were wondering, the natural textbook display can be turned off and the calculator operates exactly like the FX-991MS. I use all of my Casio units in non-textbook mode for speedy entry.

are you sure it is smaller? I believe the differ models are different components inside only(i could be wrong but you can check on the support site.

This is the larger variation yes. The other is the mini, it's exceedingly small

I'm guessing the reason for the price increase is due to this item being discontinued by the manufacturer. I have 2 printers. The Blacks share the same refill system; however, the color take separate so I need 3 different kits. I use to pay $14.00 each for these, and not from this supplier. It's sad that these kits are hard to come by as they were the most efficient, and easiest to use of all the kits I have ever used.

Bought mine for the $30 price. I agree with Bryan that it's probably just different sellers. Go with your wallet!

There's no explaining why different sites have different prices for the same items. I certainly don't know! LOL Go for the cheaper one. That's what I'd do. :-)

There is no difference. Not sure why you are seeing it as more expensive. I'd just try to get the larger one at the lowest price you can find.

I asked Amazon the same question 1-2 years ago when it listed an Illy espresso machine higher than the MSRP and showed a "discount," resulting in a price that was still higher than the full MSRP! Amazon's response was that its list prices were proprietary and should not be confused with MSRPs. Personally, I feel this is a misleading practice since almost everyone associates the "full" or "regular" price with MSRP, not, say 120% of MSRP. As a result, Amazon's "discounted" prices are sometimes higher than the full MSRP.

The floaty thing is an adhesive with a low density squishy thing on the back. There's no reason it should cost $20. So I would guess that the quality difference between the $11 and the $20 is nothing at all.

As has been already answered, I believe it is simply that the Mini is smaller in size.

Yes it is! I like the mini more, its more portable. To carry around, travel, lighter, etc.

There must be some sort of typo or mistake in the listing. I purchased it awhile ago so I don't remember exact pricing, but I know it was under $10.

In the e-mail the prices were $229.99 and $299.99 ... perhaps you thought they were the same? I tried adding the $299.99 version to my shopping cart, and it came up $299.99. Might have been a temporary glitch, or else they fixed it after seeing your post. Looks like a handy gadget to have!

If I am correct, the smaller ones is more expensive because it is Prime. This means that with the price you see it at, the shipping cost is included. However, the larger ones is less expensive but you have to pay for the shipping. In the end, they both will be similar in prices. In terms of quality, both are the same!

That's good to know! It was $5 at Whole Foods, which is kinda surprising since usually that place costs an arm and a leg!. The price went up there, it was $4.50 before, and $3 once on sale...and I bought out everything....Yeah, I've tried the seventh generation stuff as well, but wasn't too happy with them. Thanks for your response!
