i had a real life encounter with a real life wanna be dwight shrute.
so i am a selling champion on a well known selling site. im currently trying to sell an old f*x machine (looks kind of dirty when written like that). i no nothing about it since it wasn't mine in the first place, so, obviously i didn't put any detail. just the name, and function (it f*xes).
anyway, someone was potentially interested in it. here is the convo (one sided)...shortened in case of a potential search for this conversation, because you know that dwight would do that. :)
#1
Regarding the above, what type of ink does it use /
require. If something other than one of those
'carbon'-type roll cartridges (which is not the kind
of f*x unit that i'm looking for), can you please
supply your machine's specific model number
so i can research its specs?

Thanks for your response. Web-search / due diligence
states that one of the predominant concerns with this
model is its eventual failure to consistently pick up
paper -- this is a common problem and the cost of a replacement pickup roller
can be just as expensive as your asking price,
so think that i'll take a pass on this model.

#3 - re: to another f*x of ours :)
Thx again for your quick reply. Web-reviews
are MUCH more favorable, i.e.,
better-than-average / 3-4 stars. Aside from the fact
that they all state that functionality completely
shuts down sans any warning once the ink tanks dry out
(has this been your experience? -- if so, no biggie as
i'll just be certain to keep an extra cartridge handy)
it appears that this will work for its intended
purpose. That being, solely as an infrequently-used

purpose. That being, solely as an infrequently-used
machine, sometimes copier, i.e., NOT hooked up to
a PC. So... if you don't mind my testing it out prior
to purchase, please reply with how to contact you,
where i can see this unit, what's a good time, etc.

This stated, i.e., no ink, will take a pass. i've
learned the hard way not to take any more chances on
buying used tech equipment w/o first testing the item.

i like how no ink kills the deal, then he discusses how he has learned not to buy used electronics without using them first.
What old lady did you rob to get all the old f*x machines? Come on Jami, list some good stuff. Piano, 2 cats, your hot water heater, etc... Only 12 hours until I'm at your doorstep singing, Santa Baby in my best asian lady voice.
plucky-yes indeed.
laura- im glad you got a laugh out of it
scoey-exactly
diga- well, there was ink, but we threw it away...o well.
murdoc- her name is bob. ooo.
