Fao Buenchico Update.

[tamaris]

Hi Chris. Sometime ago I asked your opinion on Canon all in one printers. You advised TS5050. I bought a TS5150 obviously by mistake. I can't take back as it has been sitting in the box for months as I did not know how to install. Anyways I got it out yesterday and realised there were only two cartridges. I'm a little upset as that was the purpose of getting the one you mentioned. Oh well call it a senior moment. It's takes 540 so and 540. This is an update. What are your thoughts ?

[Hopkirk]

I've got a different Canon printer, but it also takes 540 and 541.

It's a good machine, a million miles better than the Epsons I used to battle with so you'll probably be fine.

[SlackAlice]

Now you've got it, you might as well use it. I've got a Canon Pixma all in one. Best one I've ever had, after trying out Epson, Kodak.

Yes I'd only ever use a Cannon. I just got the one with 2 cartridges by mistake. My last one is still going strong after about 10 years

[Buenchico]

Oh dear, that's a BIG mistake!

Using my preferred supplier of compatible inks, a full set of 5 high-capacity cartridges for the TS5050 costs under a tenner

whereas a pair of cartridges for the for the TS5150 costs nearly forty quid!

Unless you can find a cheap supplier of inks for the TS5150, it might be best to try to get a few quid for it on Gumtree (advertising it as 'New, bought in error') and buying a TS5051 to replace it. It's currently available for fifty quid in PC World (which isn't much more than a single set of inks for the TS5150)

and you could then buy your inks at under a tenner for a pack of all 5 high-capacity cartridges

Yes I had a look at cartridges Chris. Don't know how I got it wrong. After all your help. It was 69.99 but I only paid 12.49 as I got it with nectar points. Not sure what to do but maybe try your idea x

How much do you think I should advertise for ?

[tamaris]

Shall I say half price ?

[TonyV]

tam do you still have box and packaging? Could make the difference. Best you can ask for is half lowest retail price IMO.

[tamaris]

Hi Tony yes it's brand new I have all the 'trimmings'

[tamaris]

Well as it was 69.99 I thought half of that is £35

[TonyV]

plus if you have receipt to show purchase date. All these little things will help you get a sale.

[tamaris]

I bought in November last but only got it out yesterday and realised my mistake

[TonyV]

Advertise at more than you want by maybe 10% then you have some "haggle" room available to you. Buyer will be happy at getting something off.

[TonyV]

OK just be honest with your advert, you have all the packaging etc so shouldn't be a problem.

[Peter Pedant]

try to get it to work

ha I did that ! - Open Uni - I wanted to do maff and went for M204 and didnt realise that was applied maff and M203 was pure
The tutors said - you're joking !
I ended up doing both

well if you buy 1 kg apples it doesnt much matter if you buy 1.1 kg. The tutors gave me an "oh god look"

[tamaris]

PP no idea ???? What you mean

[Buenchico]

You could try offering it for £35 but I suspect that you might end up lowering your price to get a sale. That's because many potential buyers will know that they can buy a two-cartridge Canon printer for a tenner less than that price anyway:

Ok thanks Chris x

[Old_Geezer]

Can you hope for a gesture refund or credit note ?
If so you'd not have lost.
(November might be an issue though. I'm not good at checking immediately either.)

Hi oldgeezer. I doubt it very much. Generally return after 30 days.
