 craigslist Copiers - The Real Truth!

To the uninitiated, these machines (sold mainly by wholesalers and business furniture outlets) seem like a good deal. But, as the old saying goes, if it is too good to be true, it probably is. Here is what most of them have in common:

  1. The people selling them are not local copier dealers with a reputation to uphold. Many don't even employ one full time technician. They have very limited knowledge of the machines and their parts availability is scarce. The information they display on their ads is all copied from other sites.

  2. Most are not refurbished at all, or if they claim to be, the level of refurbishing is not what is performed by the reputable dealers. Usually, they are simply cleaned up and tweaked to make an acceptable copy. None of them are checked for firmware updates or service bulletin updates, which are necessary for future trouble-free performance.

  3. Most of the machines are usually outdated (though they may look very current). This means they are over four years old. After four years, these machines basically have no value. Manufacturers also stop providing any meaningful tech support for these highly sophisticated (and complicated) digital copiers. The average person has absolutely no way to verify how old any of this equipment really is.

  4. The meters (copy count) are usually suspect. There are very few machines over four years old that have acceptable "low mileage". Respectable dealers will not refurbish high copy count machines.

  5. Most purchasers of these machines are doing relatively low volume - and really don't need a big piece of equipment. These sellers will never tell you that you can buy brand new Brother multifunction equipment for a fraction of what they are selling their used and outdated equipment for - and that the new Brothers come with a one year warranty. For those who are skeptical of the Brother's performance, COPY TECH COMPANY will even let you use it for a week to make sure you are happy.

COPY TECH COMPANY offers a wide range of recently returned and refurbished lease equipment. They are gone through extensively with all supply and high wear items replaced and all firmware updates performed. And they are basically priced at half of our discounted new machine prices.
