I wish I could get the prices they get on E-Bay or some of these auction websites. I've got 2 of the 1200's left 1 is sealed new for $360 the other is a 15 day old demo with 85 to 90% of the ink left in the original cartridges and it comes with 2 extra new oem color cartridges for $360. And more than likely they'll sit here for a month or two.
