I paid $15 Canadian for my 4P about a decade ago, the only thing wrong
that I could tell was the cover on the side where the memory upgrade goes
was missing.  And it might have simply fallen off on the way home.

It had a low page count when I got it, under 10,000 and maybe closer to 
5,000.  But the cartridge was a generic replacement.  SInce the cartridge 
didn't last long, but the page count suggested it should have, I think 
they swapped cartridges before dumping it on the Rotary Club where I 
bought it.

I should have bought another back when they were kind of plentiful at that 
price.  I keep seeing laser printers on the sidewalk, the kind that now 
cost under a hundred new, and I assume they work but the cartridge 
emptied.  But I also assume they may not be as sturdy as the 4P.
