A color laser printer costs $400+ where I live. That's why people still but inkjet, Cause you can buy those for $50.
To poorer people, that's always the grind. You know you're gonna pay more in the long run, but you can't afford the initial investment in order to make those savings
I bought my color laser printer from the local university surplus store for $20...
I can't imagine anywhere I could buy a laser printer in my city for $20 unless it was from an old lady at a garage sale that is selling random shit. Can't even buy a meal for $20 around here. University stores are also a place you go when you want to get gouged.
University bookstore =/= University surplus store
You do get gouged to shit at the former though
Those aren't a thing where I live
