 What's up guys? Kevin here. I always wanted to shoot a video series that I go buy the printers that people gave up and then I fix it and sell it on eBay. So doing this COVID, the printer press has been jacked up a lot and there are lots of people asking me where to buy cheap printers. So let me first go over a couple of sides. I go to get cheap printers and then we're going to take one of the printer I bought and fix it. I used to use a crackless a lot, but not recently because recently press hasn't been really reasonable. Let's start for a printer. So this guy sell a printer for 200. That's a pipe dream. And this one you can get a Walmart brand new for about $35 with cartridge. Let's try Epson. So $4,150. Maybe. Yeah, that's reasonable. And this printer, no, just don't ever buy this guy. Remember the name 4630. Burn to your brand. Never, never, ever buy this printer. And yeah, that's what I'm talking about. $20. Okay, excellent condition and needs cartridge. So this guy use up all the cartridge and sell it for $20. Okay, let's do a really quick check on the ink chip.net and see if there's a cheaply solution to it. And then we go soft. So let's see how much model XP 434. And let's see how much it costs. Select our model year. So it costs $25 to make into chipless. Okay, so totally you're going to spend $45 plus gas and then you're going to turn into chipless. And then I have a video show you how to modify the cartridge and then you can refill the cartridge again. And the ink probably costs $20 for 600 mils. And that's enough for two, three years of ink. Okay, so get the whole thing set up under $60. That's what I call a good deal. Another place is a Facebook marketplace. So you go to Facebook rather than staring as people selects, you go click the marketplace icon. Let's try to search for Epson so we can compare that $20 deal. Here's a free one. Pages come out with a light blue ink versus black. You guys know how to fix that one, right? Yeah, if you don't, follow my channel. Okay, so free versus $20, of course free. Okay, next one, how do you pronounce this? Somebody told me Mercury or somebody called McCurry, whatever. Sounds Italian, okay. The printers here are not cheap. However, you can get a really good deal on the specific model that you're looking for. Actually, somebody sell a piece of HG ink here. Okay, at least this guy's happy about the product. Oh, there you go, $25. So the printer still works, so it just doesn't need anymore. You can see you have to pay shipping here, so it's not comparable to our Facebook marketplace. However, if you look for a specific model, this is the place to go. Let me search for a model that I'm looking for. It's for Epson 1430. That's a really hot model. Whoa. That's cheap. That's cheap, really cheap. Let's see what's wrong with it. This guy, I mean, for brand new, it should be around $700 range. Oh, sold. Oh, too late. Okay, this one I bought for $30. The owner says there's something wrong with a printhead. Whenever she goes to print, they only produce blank pages. Actually, she never could set it up properly, so that's a good thing for us because if something wrong, we can actually call Epson's warranty. Oh, by the way, Epson will owner the warranty even if you bought it from a third party. The supply line looks good. Let's take a look at the printhead and make sure it has enough ink. So we'll turn the printer off first. See that white lock? That locks the printhead in place. We need to unlock it. Just use the finger to push this wheel forward and that will move the lock. See it is unlocked now. You can move it. Now we remove that screw from the top. And then we can remove the cover. The ink looks filled. And let's check the colors. Pay attention to the bottom. Look, the bottom is kind of solid, so it should provide enough ink for the printhead. Let's put it back on the print. What I worry about is maybe the fuse to the printhead is going to blow out. In that case, the printer still functions, but there is no electricity goes to the printhead. So you get blank pages. What I had hoped is the user didn't know they have to press and hold the stop button for three seconds to get the ink to charge to the printhead before using it. That's why she got blank pages. However, this doesn't seem to be the case. We look at the ink box and they are charged already. Yeah, it's blank. Just like what she says. As white as snow. Okay, our plan is to do nine cleanings and do nine of them in a row. If there's any ink comes out, we just keep cleaning. But if there's no ink come out after nine cleanings, we're going to open it up and look at the motherboard. Okay, after four or five cleanings, the colors start coming out. So we don't need to worry about taking the mainboard out and test the fuse. And we're just going to keep cleaning until the pattern is perfect. So this person just keep printing blank pages, printing like 40 pages after bought it. And three months ago and the printer still under full warranty. Even she couldn't figure out how to use the cleaning function. She could just call Epson and rather than selling on Facebook for $30. Anyway, I kind of feel guilty buying this printer now. If you enjoy the scavenger hunt, please join me at the next video. The next printer just arrived today. I haven't opened it yet. It's a ET4700 and I paid a whopping $53 plus $20 for shipping. The problem is I always, the paper always jam. So it seems they have a good printhead and everything works except the paper. I hope so.
