I bought my color laser printer from the local university surplus store for $20...

Congrats! That's not the standard, though.

[–] Confound4082@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

I agree

I can't imagine anywhere I could buy a laser printer in my city for $20 unless it was from an old lady at a garage sale that is selling random shit. Can't even buy a meal for $20 around here. University stores are also a place you go when you want to get gouged.

University bookstore =/= University surplus store

You do get gouged to shit at the former though

Those aren't a thing where I live

University surplus is where they sell any and all items no longer needed by the school.

Though, I have also had some really good luck on govdeals for some stuff

There's no such store in my city. They just sell all the surplus on marketplace at crazy prices. Just saw a used laser printer on there for like $300
