Free stuff
 
HP Office Jet Pro 8715 and a new set of ink cartridges—I no longer use. Free to anyone who wants it or can use it. Also, a Sharp LCD TV 37” which I am unsure of its working status. The picture stopped workin-perhaps just an HDMI cable issue that I did not check. PM me if you want either of these items. Again, free.

FYI to anyone who might be interested: the OfficeJet Pro 8715 is a really nice printer. It's an all-in-one that prints, scans, faxes, and copies. It does double-sided (duplex) printing, and has an automatic sheet feeder for when you need to make copies of multiple pages.

It's a little too big for an average-sized desk, you'd probably want it on its own printer table or a sturdy surface on the floor (not a carpet/rug). It'll fit fine on top of a short file cabinet though. When they first came out they ran around $500, current pricing is closer to $300 for a new one.

Edited to add: I was the top HP sales pro at my store when I worked for Staples, back in the day. I won two of these printers from HP. Donated one, gave the other to a friend, because I had already won two other printers from HP, one of which I loved and the other I gave to my sister.

So I kinda know HP products pretty well :)

For buyers, this is typical sometimes called a SPIFF program. It is not just Staples or stationary. You go into a store ask the sales person what they would buy. You do not know that they are directly being paid off to push ....................

Please…I am just a Villager who thinks maybe someone can use these items rather than if I just dispose of them. Why always a conspiracy in a simple message that is meant to perhaps help someone? Really…

I sent a private message to you.

I agree!

I don't know if my messenger is working correctly but I'm on my way to pick it up, thanks again.

No, I never got spiffed by Staples for selling HPs. Our SPIFFS were mostly for selling extended warrantees. I didn't do well with those because I didn't think they were worth buying, and never pushed them.

I have been using HP computers and printers for decades, and took a personal interest in learning about them. I didn't work for the tech department, I was just a front end cashier. I learned about all the Canon, Brother, and Epson products as well. I also became a sales professional for Lenovo during my 7 years as a part-time cashier at Staples.

I knew more about our tech products than most of the people in our tech department, by the time I left. Because it was (and still is) fascinating to me.

Yes I did recommend HP products to my customers if they asked, because I knew enough about ALL the products we sold, to know my preference was HP - and I was able to explain why.

Looking to replace my old printer which has conked out. Your offer is attractive and I've had HP printers with good luck. Let me know if it's still available.

It was not directed at you but a comment on Orange bit of info. I found it interesting and wonder how often I have been pushed into buying something based on this.
