    looking for used copiers

    My name is Jack Jones I am formally from Houston, Texas I have recently moved to Hot Springs. Ar. In Houston I had an office equipment service center, I sold and serviced, copiers, laser printers & fax machines. I purchased most of my used copiers from a wholesale distributor named RMO Distributing. I no longer have the convenience of his prices and his location which was about 30 minutes from my business. So with that said my problem is finding a new wholesale copier business close to me. I prefer Minolta Copiers and the closest large town to me would be Little Rock, Ar.
    Any subjections would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank You
    Jack Jones

    We are getting ready to end a large contract, what are you looking for and what is price range. Lots to pick from, and I have some color that are new and are being sold real cheap.

      I'm looking for minoltas mainly something like DI 200-251-351-450
      Do you have these machines and what are you asking for them.
      I know they are older units but I would like the meter count to be reasonable. Where are you located.
      What are the color machines you are speaking of????
      Do you have any price sheets are any thing you could send me?
      Thank You
      Jack

        There is also a company in Tucson, AZ.
        They will actually drive to your place with a machine you may be looking for.

          Hey Jack:
          Just realized my mistake.
          You are in AR not AZ.
          I don't think they'll drive to AR.

            We already have 251's, 351's, 2510's, and 3010's ready for sale. I have 2 brand new color 2001's and a brand new 3102 still boxed up. The color boxes are $1900 each, but do not have print controllers. I also have a new scanner for the 3102. When the contract ends I will have some great condition di650's and 470's. I am flexible on price depending on how much you are looking to buy, 251's and 351's are $500 and $600 for single machines. When the contract ends, we can send almost everything we want to South America in a bulk sale. Located in North Carolina, but that is what trucking companies are for.

              Alien I will be getting back with you shortly. I’m still trying to get things set up. I just missed the yellow pages for this area. So it will be a year before I can advertize other than the internet. I will start out with about 4 or 5 copiers and build up to a larger stock. What about shipping? What I’m I looking at for 1 average size machine. Ball Park. I also plain on stocking Laser Printers and Fax machines.

                    i know we have a Di470, we are trying to get rid of. will you have a service dept? or do you want these ready to go? our 470 has a jam issue occasionally and we just pulled it out of our office and put a Kyocera (thats our only line now) we are trying to get our Minoltas converted to Kyoceras.

                      Could you give me a price (As is)
                      and a ball park price (Ready to go)
                      Also ball park on shipping.
                      I'm in Hot Springs, Ar.
                      I think Texarcana is about 3 hours from me. It might be worth a trip if thier prices were good.
                      Thank You

                              Thank you norris i thought you had forgotten about me.
                              I am moving from one building to another right now so i will have to get back to you later. It may pay for me to make a trip to Texarcana and pick up a few copiers. I bought a trailer for that purpose but it was a little to big for my van to pull so i will have to sell it and look for a smaller one.
                              Later
