    Mars International - Mars International - Off-lease copiers

    its where all the lease returns go and they settle the lease at a discount and you can buy them cheap.
    We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
    The medication helps though...

      Didnt know if he was hunting used stuff or new. Used wise there's a ton of options, rsicopiers.com, TNTcopiers.com, the list goes on. RSI has numerous locations throughout the eastern U.S. TNT is a Tampa Based operation.
      For new stuff ACM is in Texas and as I recall there's another distributor Called Collins, I guess there still around.

        is there a such thing as a konica wholesaler for new equipment as if memory serves they only sell to dealerships and only if they have a tech certified on that model.
        i used to get pulled from the field to get certified online or school in CT for a model they wanted to sell or KM was not going to ship more that 1 demo room model.
        for more than one company too.
        at least thats how it used to be.

          They dont sell the complete line, for the good stuff you have to have a dealer friend or contact that is willing to skate machines. I know numerous who will but the best deals are low metered current and 1 model old used stuff from folks like RSI, Midwest wholesale, its all EOL gear. How are you my brother? Hope all is well in your world.

            thanks Mitch, just trying to hold on for the next 4-7 years to start taking SS.
            disability turned me down because im not broken enough. limbs arent numb (yet) so that would have been a major qualifier.
            oh well. im very fortunate my wife still works.

              Thanks for the replies. I should have stated I'm looking for new equipment. We currently buy from ACM but as of lately they are out of stock on a lot of products. Plus their freight is through the roof. Quoted me $430.00 for a machine deal from buffalo to pa.

                The whole subject and description are definitely broken.
                Not good, imho good question will bring better results in general.
                A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
                Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

                  Yep, you need to get quotes from copier moving specialists like MOE Moving Office Equipment. I think you'll find their pricing is much more inline, moetrans.com ...... TTR is another that does a good job.

                    Not sure what's going on with ACM lately. They no longer carry production Konica toner any more either. I'm lucky enough to only be 20 minutes away from the Corona location but stock has been limited.
