Canon iPF5100 for $200 OBO

[AlanG]

OK I got your attention. I told everyone of the recent great deal from Atlex for the 5100 and 6100. I bought a 5100 just for the ink, paper, and the print heads. Maybe someone can use the brand new printer itself - no ink, no print heads.  It has a new maintenance cartridge which is worth something. Perhaps you have an ipf5000 and want to upgrade. Maybe your 5000 doesn't have the roller feed. Or maybe you want a backup. This is cheaper than any repair cost and has a new warranty.  I haven't unwrapped it or done anything to it other than take out the ink and print heads.  I have all of the original packing but it would be a bear to ship.  So local pick-up would be best. I am in the Washington DC area - Silver Spring, MD.

Hi Alan-

Ive been looking into the canons lately, but dont know much about them. what do you think it would cost, roughly, to put in the heads and ink? and the warranty is transferrable to me?

Im also in the DC area.

thanks!

The cost of replacement print heads and a full set of inks is far more than the cost of just buying a 5100. In fact I think you could buy a brand new 6100 for less. Buying one without the printhead/inks only makes sense if you already have one and need some parts. I suggest going to Atlex or ITSupplies.com and checking prices before you purchase...

Heads are about $550 each so that is $1100. A set of 130ml ink is about $830.  (90ml starter ink comes standard.)  An entire printer with 90ml ink is about $1329 new. I paid $799 for mine and it came with $300 worth of paper.  Unfortunately, it is often cheaper to buy a new printer than the parts. That is why I have this  brand new printer for sale.  I was just hoping someone might have a use for it.  If nobody buys it even for a little money, I'll just keep it as a backup.  Someday I probably will throw it away unused.  It is a shame but that is Canon's pricing.

As I said in my initial post, this probably will only appeal to someone who needs a backup, has a printer that broke, or maybe wants to upgrade from a 5000 (the heads and 8 of the ink carts could be used.)  I bought it because I got a good deal for the parts I wanted.
