Ricoh Greenline (refurb)

[Robohopar]

Hi gues. Did a search and didn't find much so maybe you can help if you have experience.

So Ricoh has a refurb line called "green line" sold with a like new service with decent low click cost and price point on the machine.

Does anyone have any experiences with these? I'm mainly looking for a b&w machine. 8200 with vacuum feed and booklet finisher to be exact.

Thanks for the info.

8200 was discontinued 5 years ago, if you're looking for a cost-effective used machine to get your moneys' worth in the long run that probably wouldn't be the model I'd look at. Downtime could be huge 3 years from now while the service provider looks for parts.

They're guaranteeing parts for the next 7 years minimum. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

and if its under service, they cant get parts, they would have to replace the machine i guess.

That's true. Guaranteeing parts does not mean parts on hand. I doubt it'd be seen as a win if your machine is down for a week and you're missing deadlines as the provider searches for the part they're contractually obligated to provide you. Happens all the time.
