Often 240 new with full warranty, even after COVID. This gives you someone else's sloppy seconds with a lesser warranty, but you save 10 bucks. No thanks.

It really feels like since COVID, the thought has been "hell yeah I will pay MSRP for used!", and that's sad. The price has been slowly creeping every time this model is posted, except this time it's even used.

You don't simultaneously have "unprecedented demand" and also "on sale, 200 off!". That's absurd. The apologists are being scammed.

This is absolutely correct.

I have purchased 2 of the higher end models in thus series, MF733CDW, each for approx $250-$270 with sales + coupons so this is not a deal

i have aa 4+ year old Canon MF8280cw which I use and the ink on the black just gave me a warning sign (and thats the starter cartridge toners with low cap).
Should i buy this printer (which comes with standard capacity toners) vs just just buying a replacement toner for the MF8280cw from amazon (these ones go for about $60: https://www.amazon.com/HaloFox-Co...636&sr=8-5 )
Duplex printing is appealing to me.

Thoughts?

I considered it discounted ink cartridges and a free refurbished printer.

If you price the standard full set of cartridges, this printer is somewhere between free and cash back. So, yes, you can buy the new one with starter cartridges for about the same money, but that doesn't mean this isn't a reasonable asking price. Having said that, I don't know that it's particularly slick deal, the everyday price is $249.
