zeke 693 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I really like government surplus stores. I mean, reeeeeeally like them. This week, I bought two HP laserjet printers: A Laserjet 5000n which can print 11"x17" and that is great for schematics, and A Laserjet 4350dnt which has the duplexer and a second 500 sheet paper tray. I know I didn't steal them because I have a bill of sale. The total for both printers was $30! I also got a Fellowes Powershred C-320 paper shredder. That thing can swallow 25 sheets of paper at a time and will not choke! I paid $80 for it. So, yeah, I like this government surplus stuff. pine, spirilis, cubeberg and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yyrkoon 250 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 We have a laserjet 5si, that was rebuilt by my buddy. I think he paid $130 for it, and $100 of that was for shipping( off ebay ). Then a few years later he bought another one for $40 and picked it up in person. The one we're currently using does 11x17 paper too, and has a duplexer as well. And yeah . . . 11"x17" schematics are nice. Picture below of what it looks like, but that particular one in the picture is not ours. http://img.clasf.pk/2014/03/25/HP-Laserjet-5Si-A3-A4-size-High-Volume-Printer-20140325131817.jpg spirilis and zeke 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spirilis 1,264 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Man all of this reminds me how nice it would be to have a 17x11 capable printer. All my schematics are 17x11. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do not think you could, if you wanted to. I'm not a small, and weak person. Being 6' and 220lbs, and I do not think I could either. But not only is it heavy, it would be too awkward. So, my buddy and I both move it whenever it needs off it's stand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

abecedarian 330 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Yeah, just let me rearrange the chairs to make some space on my patio. With that, you could make a new patio. They are about 8 times more fun to drive than they look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
