Black Friday sales
So the Brother HL-2170W I purchased for $125 in March is going to be $89 at Staples on Black Friday.
I will be buying one and putting it into storage. You see, all laser printers have a drum that has a life of (in the Brother printer's case) 12,000 pages. A replacement drum costs $88 from Amazon. Plus the new printer comes with a starter toner cartridge that will last at least 800 pages.
It has now reached the point where it is cheaper for me to throw away a perfectly functional printer than buy consumables for it. Un-freaking-believable.
Also they are selling an Acer 23" widescreen LCD monitor for $139. I'll be getting one of those too.
