Price for genuine Canon pixma IP4000 cartridges?
Suppose I want to buy a complete set of these 5 cartridges.
What would be a good price for them. I intend to look on EBAY and other sources, but I'm not sure what would be a good price. I know it would be about $60-$65. on the Canon site. MB |

This kind of shopping around you can easily do online - just look up a few discount computer stores. Why do you want to buy a 'set'? Surely the beauty of individual cartridges is that you only need to replace them as they become empty - for instance if you largely do only photos or only do documents, you will hardly use one of the black ink tanks. |

Caitlin:
Yes, I've thought of that. But, OTOH, it would be a PAIN if one cartridge goes and 4 weeks later another goes, etc. etc. etc. If that's the way it happens then I would just as soon BUY a complete set, have the set on hand, and THEN replace them individually.

You will find that there is some sort of price control out there or what
ever legal name you want to give to price fixing. All of the prices on OEM Canon ink cartridges are within .75 U.S. cents of each other. The only way to save is to buy out of state and save 8% tax and maybe 5% in price if they do not charge for shipping. Not a big deal. Who needs to stock up at those prices? You might as well go down to a local store and buy as needed. Then if you print head goes bad you are not married to the same mfg. Caitlin wrote: "MB_" wrote in message ...

I have always found for one time purchases that Sam's Club, Costco or BJ's are best. Another trick I have learned is that as I order from OfficeMax.com this also seems to result in a semi regular pattern of "$20 Off your next purchase of $50 or more" coupon cards showing up in my mail. With a set of inks costing about $50+ , I often get them for around $30 using these coupons. Of course 'Google' is another could source for pricing. |

If you are in the USA it will probably be a bit under US$8.00. That's very good, considering here in Australia they are at least AU$24.95 (217% of the eBay price). -- -- Ben Thomas - Software Engineer - Melbourne, Australia My Digital World: Kodak DX6490, Canon i9950, Pioneer A05; Hitachi 37" HD plasma display, DGTEC 2000A, Denon 2800, H/K AVR4500, Whatmough Encore; Sony Ericsson K700i, Palm Tungsten T.
