Used Copiers in San Jose

So, what exactly is a “refurbished” copier? Dealers know that anything that is refurbished is going to be more attractive to the customer than a product that is merely “used.” As a result, a “refurbished” copier might simply be one that was cleaned up real nice. In that case, almost no value is added to the used copier.

Therefore, anyone offering refurbished copiers should be grilled about the process. A properly refurbished office copier is one that has had the worn parts replaced. It has also been thoroughly inspected for potential problems that may lie ahead. The uninitiated office buyer can quickly get into uncharted technical waters here. However, once a few dealers have answered your question, a pattern will likely emerge. You’ll be in a better position to discern who is really doing professional refurbishing.

Warranties on refurbished copiers are critical. 30-day warranties are inadequate. A 90-day warranty is ideal, and a dealer that is confident in the product that he/she is selling will be more willing to consider this additional exposure on the seller’s side. Even if you pay a little more for a longer warranty, consider it wise “insurance” to buy.

Additional “insurance” appears in the form of the maintenance agreement. Wearable parts will invariably wear out, and regular maintenance can provide real savings when compared to emergency visits that a San Jose business might suddenly require. The cost of such agreements will likely be discussed in a way that suggests that the rates are ironclad. The cost of maintenance agreements can be negotiated, just like almost everything else.
