Are You Guilty of Spending Too Much?

OK, we’ve all done it. We have all spent too much on an item and later realized we got a terrible deal. There have been some historically bad deals such as France selling 800,000 acres in the Louisana purchase when we had only set out to buy New Orleans for $11,250,000. Now, this isn’t the sort of deal we’re talking about, after all… we’re only speaking of $3,000 to $10,000 copiers. (To put this into perspective, the last US bailout cost more than the Louisana Purchase, Marshall Plan, Going to the Moon, S&L Bailout, Korean War, New Deal, Iraq War, Vietnam War and NASA’s lifetime budget combined, all adjusted for inflation)

So, what are some of the ways you can get a bad deal on a copier?

Pay too much for the equipment up front
Pay too little for equipment so the supplies cost too much
Just overpay because you don’t get quotes
Overpay leasing companies
Overpay on accessories

Now, you don’t need to be the victim. Make sure there are some things you check out. Our other articles will help you walk through the copier landmine and hopefully land a great deal. If you would like to talk to us in person, give us a call and we’d be happy to help!

Blow up your old way of thinking about copiers!

Copiers have been around for years and so has the way we buy copiers. Nothing changes because we get used to our patterns. What are some of the expensive patterns copier buyers in Fort Worth fall into?

Rather than buying based on need, people buy based on what the old budget was. Copier prices have been going down over the last 10 years and people still pay the same prices as they did 10 years ago.
Purchasing a copier in Tabloid format rather than letter/legal when Tabloid isn’t needed.
Buying from the guy who sold them the last copier by default rather than allowing competition.
Rolling the current copier into the new lease for a “free upgrade” 6 months before the end of the current term. (Is anything really free.)
Not itemizing a contract to see if they want to actually pay $1,700 for a stapler (granted, sometimes it is worth it, but sometimes it’s not)
Only considering a new or a used copier. If you plan to keep the copier 4 to 5 years, new is the way to go… For 1,2, or 3 you can make a case for a used copier at times.

Just try and take a step back to buy a copier in a way that makes sense. Taking time to analyze and assess what you are doing will help you greatly whether you purchase a copier in Fort Worth from us or someone else.

Copiers Breaking the Bank

We talk to a lot of people these days who are concerned about the economy and want to make sure they are prudent before they make a copier purchase in Fort Worth, Texas. We get this, to be sure, as we have to make a lot of our own decisions regarding what contracts to keep going and what to bid out again.

As we talk to purchasing agents about copiers Fort Worth, we generally hear one of the following answers…

We are going to go ahead and keep what we have because we aren’t allowed to spend more
We already have 6 or 7 quotes
We are planning to purchase, but it will likely not be until … (you pick a date here…)

These all make sense in a tougher economy, but you need to be careful to not get so freaked out by the economy that you don’t look at what makes sense for your business. If you are severly overpaying and want to look at the copier, it is good to know a lot of exciting things have happened over the last few years that may mean you’ll only be paying 1/3 to 1/2 of what you normally spend.
