| 86671 | 2002-10-07 02:56:00 | Anyone have any idea of the resale value of a 2nd hand Okipage 14e printer (www.comworth.co.nz)? It was purchased in December last year in excellent condition.. New RRP is $749.. but what kind of money do people pay for the used models? Thanks :D |

| 86672 | 2002-10-07 03:00:00 | it's only worth as much as people will pay.... have a look in your local cash-converters to see if there are any similar models, that should give you a decent idea of what people will pay. since it was worth 750, i'd probably pay not more than 300 for it. that's just me though ;) i'm cheap. i wouldn't pay above half retail value for any second hand goods I think. |

| 86673 | 2002-10-07 03:02:00 | Check Trademe.co.nz and look it up to see what other are selling for. You might get a bit more if you advertise in the T&E | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 86674 | 2002-10-07 03:05:00 | There aren't any for sales currently on TM, that was the first place I looked. My websearches won't find any advertised either. If I can be honest here, I'm asking on behalf of a customer who just bought a brand spanking new printer from us, and wants to sell the old one. They need to know what to advertise for and I have absolutely no idea! Thanks again.. |

| 86676 | 2002-10-07 03:06:00 | >i wouldn't pay above half retail value for any second hand goods I think. Thats my general rule too, particually with printers and generally disposible goods. Why pay good money for something that has been caned and is about to be replaced when you can buy a new equivelent for the same sort of money?? Mind you, try your luck, you might just find a buyer with too much money who you can unburden. |

| 86677 | 2002-10-07 03:28:00 | The value will also be decided by the drum condition. Rated at 15,000 pages @ 3 pages per job, but my experience is that these types of printers will often only do 1/2 that, specially for the home user and 1 page print jobs. Not uncommon for it to be stuffed after 3 toner refills (6000 pages) A new drum could be worth more than the printer resale. Probably $300 or more? |

| 86678 | 2002-10-07 03:31:00 | The last laser printer I bought at auction was a Brother 1260. Cost me $2. :D (It does need a new drum --- $311 --- to get the full quality :-() That one is probably worth something like $300 ... It is a nice machine. The consumables do look expensive ($320 for the drum) but you have to divide that by the number of pages it will produce to get the price per page, and it's a lot less than inkjet. |

| 86679 | 2002-10-07 03:43:00 | Thanks guys, I have informed him that he can try to get $400 - $500 for it initially, and then if it doesn't sell, look at no more than $300. Happiness all around :) |

| 86680 | 2002-10-07 03:51:00 | I have cut a drum on a Brother out in 6000 copies, at $312, plus 3 toner packs @ $55 each = $477 gives 8 cents per page . Still a tad cheaper than inkjet . HP Laser I use now does 7,500 pages for a toner/drum pack of $150, giving 2 cents per page, plus "new" printer quality every toner pack . Cheap printers are expensive, if you use them . |
