I bought my R200 as a Factory Refurbished unit for $70 shipped on eBay and I just now found this guy selling Refurbished R300 for $88 !! shipped - I've bought a few refurbished things on eBay now and they've all worked fine
and the ink can be CHEAP also but be picky on where you get the ink - this is some good ink that I found "CHEAP" but I've used it in my HP880c I've also found it at my local Sam's (membership required - WEAK) and I do plan on getting some refillable carts for my R200 (no need for CIS as I don't print that often) OH - and Dark Jedi turned me on to these carts for $41.69 for TWO sets of ink!!!!
