I bought one HP 5 Si Mx LaserJet for $10 and got four more for free. I got so many in order to harvest their toner. Now I have one, my parents have one, I gave one to a friend, I sold one to another friend, and the last one was used for spare parts, but actually still works. Here are some stats on these babies:

OK, I tell you now. My college had a sale on used office furniture, and mixed in were these big old printers. I asked "how much," and the lady said "make me an offer." So I said $10. I went home, looked up the specs on the printer, then went back for more. The lady told me to just take them. 🙂 Moral of the story, if you are still in college, stop by the admin offices every once in a while and inquire about sales.
