Staples - photo printer

Went to Staples yesterday as I had a £10 gift card to use that my boss had given me.

Found a Lexmark photo printer with Cd burner and LCD screen for £39, so decided to buy it, using my £10 off, so £29 in total.

Been having a look around on the internet today and found....

Ebay £139 and £159

Amazon £137

Piximania £115

So thought it mite be of help to sumone as, its a pretty gd deal, mite be worth even buyin some and selling them on, on Ebay, should make a profit easily.

Mite be worth checking out your local Staples store and see if theyve got any.

    I think they may have mistook that for a Lexmark P4350, which is £39.99 instore (and still a pretty good price although not as good a bargain as the 450!).

    Most important question with it being a Lexmark!

    How much are the ink/paper refills?

    well the sign definately said Lexmark p450 £39, maybe it was just a misprice in my local store.

    They also had another one cheaper at £35, but it was ex store demo model, hence the cheaper price.

    Its got a colour catridge and photo paper with it.

    Did check the price of the cartridges in Staples when I brought it, the colour one compatible with the printer was £17.99, but you could probably get it cheaper then that, if you shop around.
