Selling Printers?

[tb2571989]

So as of September we are moving from a mere 72 school-owned HP Laser Printers to the much more reasonable 10~12 MFDs that will be spread around the school, much like our sister school. We'll be scrapping PCounter and going with PaperCut (as that's what our sister school uses) with a single print queue where you can sign in and release the jobs.

 

Our old printers are a mix of HP M4345 (Mono MFD) HP CP3525 (Colour Printer) HP 3530 (Colour MFD) and a handful of 2025s and 2055s as well, as well as a single large HP 6040 (Colour MFP) and a single HP 9040 with 8-bin output tray (Mono printer). These were bought at considerable cost to the school as part of the BSF program 5 years ago. For the first year we used original HP Toners, and with the exception of the 6040 and 9040 we now use Greensource compatible toners which have been excellent.

 

What we'd like to do is get rid of the mass of printers and recoup some of the money spent (a single HP 3530 cost over £1200 new). Does anyone know of any companies, ideally in the SouthWest, that will buy printers, or anyone have any suggestions? We could list them on eBay with collection only, but the school doesn't want the hassle of that (even though I'd be happy to do it).

Or you could advertise them in the classifieds section here...

 

I might be in the market for the 6040...

From someone who went through a similar procedure at my old school even when we listed printers at £10 each trying to sell them to staff very few were interested. We had a company offer us about £50 for 20 printers but even they dropped out. I would suggest some local classifieds/ebay or look for IT re-cyclers in your area.
