Pick a printer and see the lowest current prices on eBay, where offices replace machines on a schedule rather than on failure and the old one still has most of its life in it. Prices are pulled live, so what you see is what sellers are asking this minute.

Over three years the consumables usually cost several times the machine, which is why a $30 inkjet can be the expensive choice and a $90 laser the cheap one. Work out the cost per page for the model you are looking at before you look at the price of the printer, because that is the number you will actually be paying, month after month.
Page count is the odometer, and it is printed on the machine. Any laser will print a configuration or device-status page showing total pages. Ask for a photo of it. Twenty thousand pages on a machine rated for a 50,000-page monthly duty cycle is nothing; the same number on a small home model is most of its life. This one question separates the bargains from the tired ones and almost nobody asks it.
Starter toner is not toner. New printers ship with a partly filled cartridge, and a used one has whatever is left of it. "Includes toner" can mean 200 pages or 3,000. Ask what the toner level reads, and price a replacement before you bid, since on the cheaper models a full set of cartridges genuinely costs more than the printer just sold for.
Lasers are the used buy, inkjets are the gamble. A laser has no wet parts to dry out, so one that has sat in a cupboard for two years works. An inkjet that has sat for two years has dried heads, and on many models the head is not user-replaceable, which makes the whole thing scrap. If you want an inkjet, buy one that the seller confirms prints a clean nozzle-check page today.
Check the driver situation on anything older. These outlive their software. A printer from 2014 may have no current macOS driver, and manufacturers drop support quietly. Look for the model on the maker's support page before buying, and prefer models that speak a standard language like AirPrint or PostScript, since those keep working long after the branded driver stops.
Value. Office lasers are the best value on this page by a distance. They are built for tens of thousands of pages, businesses replace them on a schedule rather than on failure, and the result is a steady supply of machines with most of their life left going for a fraction of new.
What you pay for the printer is the smaller half of the bill. The cheapest printers to run works out two years of cartridges as well, which is where a bargain machine usually stops being one.
Live eBay listings. Pick a model and it fetches the current lowest-priced listings in real time, with the listing shown next to each price, so nothing here is an estimate.
What is the total page count. Every laser stores it and will print it on a configuration page, and it is the only real measure of how much life is left. A photo of that page tells you more than the condition description does.
Only if you count the consumables. The machine is a small part of what you spend over three years, so a cheap inkjet with expensive carts costs far more than a slightly dearer laser. Work out the cost per page first, then look at the price of the printer.
Laser, unless you specifically need photo output. Toner does not dry, so a laser that has sat unused for two years still works. An inkjet in the same cupboard has dried print heads, and on a lot of models the head cannot be replaced, which writes off the machine.
Anywhere between almost nothing and a full cartridge. New printers ship with a partly filled starter, and a used one has whatever remains. Ask for the toner level percentage and price a replacement before bidding, because on the cheaper models a full set costs more than the printer does.
Check before you buy. Printers outlive their drivers and support gets dropped quietly, so a 2014 model may have nothing current for macOS. Models that speak AirPrint or PostScript are the safer bet, because those keep working without a branded driver.
A daily snapshot of the lowest genuine eBay price for every model we track, and how good that price is right now versus its usual level, updated automatically. Prices last refreshed 12 October 2026. Tap a price to see that model's cheapest listings on eBay, or tap a model name for the full live list here.
These are second hand prices, listed by sellers as used or pre-owned, taken from live eBay US listings in US dollars. In collectible categories a sealed or unworn item is sometimes the cheapest genuine listing, and it is included. The same number works both ways: it is what a buyer pays today and the resale value a seller can realistically ask. Every model also carries a price history, the daily record kept since tracking began, which is the part to read before you buy or resell. On a day when a model has no listing that passes these filters, its row keeps the last price we recorded rather than inventing one, and drops off this table if that goes on for more than a few days.
Under each model is the actual listing that price came from, so you can see whether it is the thing you want or a bundle, a variant, or an accessory that happens to share the name.
"Off retail" compares today's used price with what the model costs new. For anything still on sale that is its current new price, so the figure is close to a discount you could really get. For anything no longer sold it is the last new price we have on record: on a boxed product like a LEGO set or a console that is the RRP, and on a part like a graphics card it is nearer what new stock was going for at the end than what it cost at launch. So on older hardware read it as depreciation against late retail rather than against the original sticker. A few rows read "above" instead: they cost more used than new, which is normal for a retired set or a part nobody makes any more.
Over the period we have tracked, this category has not moved, while the used market as a whole is down 0.3%. See the Used Price Index, which is built from these prices and published as a free CSV.
