Some calculators I have seen are very expensive and I'm sure they are profitable too. So it is to station it near where you can make sales almost all the time

I think selling calculators are not making good money here. There is a calculator in the computer and smartphone.
I agree that it is not that feasible that much now. Since most people are using their mobile phones' calculators. Although they can still need scientific calculators if they are engineers or any majors related to math. It is very useful for them.

I think you shouldn't sell just calculators. You should sell all school items. I understand that there might not be capital but you can buikd capital a little more to include textbooks, exercise books, graph books and so on.

It is actually referred to as stationery business right here in my country where you sell everything that is used in both schools and offices by students and workers.

Calculators can be a good business to dive into but if you don't do it alone. People who deal in stationery business always have calculators and a lot of other things they sell together.

I think this depends a lot on the country or area where they are sold, but I would not go into this type of business, knowing that right now almost everyone carries a smartphone on them and that they already have an integrated calculator, in addition to computers the same.

Yes it seems a business that can be location specific . you would need to find the best location for it, you would do better with a location near a school

Yes, in my opinion, selling calculators is a profitable business, because even though there is a calculator application on the cellphone, it will reduce work productivity because they can not only open the calculator application but secretly open other applications that interfere with working hours.
