Dig this. I followed up today with a small print shop here in NJ today, towwards the month end for me and he had been on the market for a color printer, however my price was not right for him a few months ago. Difference is now there are additional rebates from Ricoh for the A3 color laser printer.
Anyway, I'm on the phone with him (he's a good guy and wouldn't bs me), he tells me that he signed and agreement from Xerox for a refurbished 120ppm digital copier and a 25ppm color system with NO Base charges and NO minumums for monthly click charges, along with that he stated the cost per page charge is right in line with new systems!
He has to keep the machine for a mimumum of 3 years and if he decides to get rid of the system there is a $500 charge to remove.
To say the least I was shocked and to tell the truth the customer is too! He said he checked the paperwork and all looked well, I asked that he check it again and read all of the fine print because this just seems to good to be true. In addition he stated that one of his other printer bussies did the same deal in NJ. He also stated that he has to wait 4-8 weeks to get the systems.
I asked it I could stop by to review the paperwork and he stated that would be ok, and I will be stopping by ASAP!
Has anyone else seen or heard of this in other parts of the country????
