I have an Epson wide-format (13" x 19") ink jet printer that I bought for a specific project that never happened, so I never took it out of the box because I didn't want to print a test page and then let it sit and have the the ink dry and destroy the printheads. I've pretty much determined that the project isn't likely to happen, so I put the printer up for sale on Craigs List. Just had a call on it.
The printer is an Epson WorkForce WF-7620. It's a multi-function machine that also includes copy, scan, and fax capability -- and it can copy and scan up to 11x17 pages. It has now been discontinued and replaced by a newer model with similar capabilities. The original MSRP was $299.99. Knowing that it has been superseded, I priced it at $200.
The person who contacted me said she checked with both Epson and Staples and that they both told her the MSRP was $200, so she wanted me to lower my price. I checked several reviews from when the model was new, and they ALL list the MSRP as $299.99. That's also the MSRP for the replacement model with the same capabilities.
I get it -- she'd like to pay less than $200. On the other hand, I'd like to sell it for $300 -- but I understand that it's now a discontinued model. But it IS still brand new, in the sealed box. I think a 33% discount is a pretty good deal for a brand new printer -- considering that Amazon will sell you one for $800. If she wants to haggle price, make me an offer ... don't lie to me about the original price.
What is wrong with people?
