Laser Jet Printer - GovDeals.com
Broken laser jet printer. no bids $6 should win in. I've checked on ebay, and there doesn't seem to be a high demand for any possible working parts. Granted I know If I make anything off scrapping it, its going to be minimal. But they also have a couple desktops for $5 too, so at least i'm not wasting my gas to pick up one small item. Any thoughts would be appreciated, as I've never scrapped a printer before.
my yard takes them whole as scrap. Minus the high grade board of course. So I would bid on it by weight.
What do they pay per pound at your yard?
the extra paper tray on the bottom should be worth a solid $20-$50 on ebay, as for the unit itself probably better off scrapping, but check just incase
get the desktops for $5 each, those are worth scrapping for sure
yeah, I know enough from past experience working with computers, that $5 is a steal, even on an older outdated model. I just have no real scrap knowledge of printers. Appreciate the info....Paper trays go for that much on ebay? I'll have to do some research then.
If i ever make it out to Kansas City, I'm going to have to buy you a few brews jghilino, lol. I think you've answered just about every post I've made on here
shred is 170 a ton right now.
I know you said this one is not working but if you ever stumble on one that does for cheap, use up the remainder of the cartridge. I got a HP4100 for $5 that has several thousand copies left on it.
I do not buy coppiers or printers, I get tomany free ones. You would get your 6.00 back but not much more, keep looking for free ones and you'll do alot better and you'll be able to see what's all in it and what's involved in braking it down. Just my .02
I do think it's great that you are looking into buying scrap. That is all I currently do at the moment. To me that's way too much for a printer. By the time you spend the time and money to pick them up I don't think there is much meat left on the bone. I think your real problem is variety. You made a couple posts regarding GovDeals. As I'm sure you've seen, this is a heavily trafficked site. This traffic usually drives the price.Quote:

Think out of the box a little, look for other sites. If you have a real problem with this, send me a PM and I'll point you in the right direction. You need to be selective in what you put out money for or your going to nickle and dime yourself to death.
i picked up a big inkjet of the curb the other day and its a big one about 30 pounds worth
