Buying a Second-Hand Photocopier: What to Check Before You Buy
A second-hand photocopier can save a Gold Coast business thousands — but only if you buy the right one. Bought blind off an online marketplace, a cheap copier can turn into a money pit. Here's what to check before you hand over a cent.

Check the meter count
Every copier logs how many pages it's printed — its meter count. Like kilometres on a car, it tells you how hard the machine has worked. A low-meter unit from a light-use office is worth
far more than a high-meter machine flogged in a print room. Always ask for the count.
Insist on warranty and servicing
“Sold as is” is a red flag. A reputable seller tests and services the machine and stands
behind it with warranty. If there's no warranty and no service history, assume you're buying
someone else's problem.
Check parts and consumable availability
Some older or obscure models are cheap because nobody can get parts or toner for them
anymore. Stick to mainstream commercial brands — Canon, Ricoh, Kyocera, Toshiba,
Konica Minolta — where parts and consumables are readily available.
Match the machine to your volume
• Light use (a few hundred pages a month): a smaller desktop multifunction is plenty
• Medium office: a mid-range floor-standing MFD with a duplex and finishing
• High volume: a robust departmental machine built for the workload
• Buying too big wastes money; too small wears out fast — match it to your real usage
The easy option
Every second-hand photocopier we sell is already meter-checked, fully serviced, warranted
and matched to your needs — so you get the savings without doing the detective work
yourself.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the most important thing to check on a used copier?
The meter count — it shows how much work the machine has done. Pair that with a service
history and warranty and you can buy with confidence.
Is buying off an online marketplace risky?
It can be. “As is” machines with no warranty or service history often hide expensive faults. A
tested, warranted copier is far safer.
Which brands are safest to buy used?
Mainstream commercial brands — Canon, Ricoh, Kyocera, Toshiba, Konica Minolta —
because parts and toner stay readily available.
Do your used copiers come checked and warranted?
Yes — every machine is meter-checked, serviced, warranted and matched to your print
volume.
