eBay, Craigslist - Used - Response to Economic Office Equipment?

In the era of the "down" the economy, many companies that by all possible means to save money. Some companies have tried to suggest the type of devices used. Now Craigslist, Ebay, lease returns and other sources of used equipment. Saves money? or is it more expensive and more expensive than new?

Over the years I have seen, used equipment purchased in many environments. Frankly, the results were mixed. Sometimes companies have had a very good thing that it was a great savings for them.In most cases, I was disappointed companies. The savings were not what they expected, and sometimes a direct loss.

Over the years one of the biggest mistakes I have seen the purchase and delivery of the material used improperly. Been a number of years, a client called with a folder inserter, bought, had a few. The seller has framed the car 70 + pounds in a box of popcorn heavy Styrofoam. Now, popcorn is a packaging material for OKlight weight product. Unfortunately, it is not adequate for what is in essence a 70 lb brick. Needless to the machine did not arrive in an operational mode. The frame was bent and need serious repair and replacement parts before the machine would work. Another customer called us for help with an address printer. The printer was so bent it could not be repaired. A few years back, I thought I had found a "DEAL" at a lease return house that I could resell at a great profit. Unfortunately, The car had an electrical glitch, would cost $ 1,000 's to repair (the car is well worth it).

Two years ago I worked with a company, the date of the sale shares address, purchase a machine. Instead, they decided to buy a car on eBay. The machine works, but not both. After using the computer for six months and then try using another machine, and finally bought a new car. Shortly after the delivery and installation of the machine, I received a textDirectors, Homer, I'm in love. "Came the reply. They were in a position to increase their productivity 4000-6000 units per hour to nearly 20,000 pieces per hour (oh, and you get a better rate of approval of the United States Postal Service (less shipping $ $) ).

Used in another context, a company leasing a photocopier, because they believed that to save money, because it was used in a photocopier. Finally, they spend more money to be used for the copier and lessUtility. The copier was used more slowly, increasing the cost for the provision of, and not to the same quality print, have been given a new unit.

So the moral of the story, the equipment used can save you money. But if you buy used equipment that you are a company that can repair your equipment. If you do not need to services, but how often you need it. Can be cheaply Admired first, but could only economic in nature. Unfortunately, is often cheaperexpensive.

And people should not shy away from looking for new devices. Many manufacturers together discount packages and leasing of new equipment is actually less expensive. They are motivated to move the train from their showrooms, and warehouses. So ask. Safe Product that "right" hardware. On all the changes in our world, you have to, like a big car, just as before. Then again, maybe you do. You see, however, have the right equipment isBudgetary savings at the end.

The search for new equipment that fits your budget. The equipment that you know the story of a device with a warranty, the hardware that someone who does help you, your mission with the equipment.
