Not a purchase but a find... I'm renovating an old building that used to be an architects office. They were supposed to move out the week before the project started. Instead, the bastard killed himself. So, we have to clean out the office and i am given a large format printer by the landlord from the office. It's an older HP but in decent condition.
So I take it home and "park it" knowing full well somebody's going to wise up and ask for this 3k printer back, and sooner rather than later. Well, 14 weeks later I plug it into my laptop and print off some drawings with no effort/service/money spent.
I'd say I'm a lucky guy...as lucky as the former poster who used to want me to fuck his mothers ass for the first and only time" thought I was.
