Free printers are frequently worth about that much.  I am fairly sure the Dell 720 was one of the freebies that most users used up the ink in the cartridges and then trashed the printers (some did not wait for the ink to go dry).  Biggest reason was the ink was only available from Dell and was very expensive.

One of the schools got a bunch of these and when they tired of opening boxes of new printers to steal the ink carts, they sent the whole lot to StRUT including some that had never been opened.

But what the heck, printers are cheap these days.

Thanks;
well then I guess it would be less
for a used one,

(right?)
Do you happen to know if there are any
[gnu/] Linux distro's that would run on this?
(and have drivers for everything
 including the wifi);    ?
(and - if so - whether there is any way
 to buy the HW without the SW?)
and Hmmmm....  what's this
Free 725 Printer
?
I already have [/slash, don't need]
a printer.
Maybe I could sell the printer?
(or give it away to some worthy cause
 and at least, get a tax deduction for it)?
...how much is a ["725"] printer worth?

as long as it has a

[mozilla] browser,

a charger for the battery,
a USB port,
and a CD or DVD drive.
Is that too much to ask?
How much should I expect to pay?
If I am not in a hurry, is it better
to buy it over the net ("mail order"?).
I will probably pay by credit card.
