Any places to buy used laser printers?

[0roo0roo]

don't really want to try ebay, shipping would be bad...

Pawn shops? Heh..

We have a place called Stuff! here in Portland, Oregon that is basically a pawn shop for all things electronic. Kinda cool.

 

[0roo0roo]

heh doh need it in the bay area. figure all those it companies going belly up have to get rid of some printers eh?

You could always try ebay, but make sure to do a subsearch for your particular region. There are a good number of ebay sellers that are open to a pickup in the interest of saving shipping charges.

I baought mine off of ebay a few years ago, even though it came from texas and I am on the east coast it really wasn't that bad.

www.pcsurplusonline.com has older laserjets cheap.

If anyone in WA buys a 4L off them I can give you a couple of opened toner carts free (my 4ML died after 10 years).

huh sweet

shipping and handling is free apparently.. wow!

so is the 5l really worth the extra money? the 4l does look old and kinda heavy. its for a college student

I'd suggest just buying a new one from a B&M when there's a hot deal...I got my ML430 for like $90 from CompUSA.

Edit: ML1430, I didn't buy a Mercedes from Compusa!

 

[0roo0roo]

i can't wait that long

and argh, according to many reviews, it seems the 5l's are susceptible to grabbing more then one page after the rollers wear out. wonder if this place replaces those parts.

Have you checked u-bid? I have won stuff from them before.

He doesn't want to pay ridiculous shipping fees.

Guess I should have scrolled down. $54 shipping for a printer? It wasn't that bad a few years ago.

That is probably not the rollers wearing out, but rather the restraint pad. It was a simple, inexpensive repair on the older HP Laserjets.

 

[0roo0roo]

yea i've been burned by ubid before, never again...

 

[0roo0roo]

are the ups shipping cost calculators pretty accurate? was looking at an auction for 2 printers, but thats like 50lb! shipping calc said 40 dollars, but i didn't enter any dimensions.

There are quite a few Laser Printers on eBay in the SanFran area right now, check it out.

Edit: Uh, wow.. that's a long URL.

 

[0roo0roo]

odn think the refined search works by linking like that. i did it manually, there were a few in my area. one rapes with shipping of 40 bux regardless of location, what bull. and the other one is broken lol

 

[gsaldivar]

Look in your phone book for laser printer service & cleaning companies. Each one usually has at least a dozen of them they are trying to get rid of...

 

[pinoy]

try retrobox.com. they sell used items from big companies like IP.

 

[0roo0roo]

well i got the deskjet 1100 from ebay for 56 bux.


hopefully i don't get shafted by this guy
