Ah, well... that can be an issue.  I ran into that with older laser 
printers... an LJ-II weighs around 60 pounds.  You can't make any money 
off of them unless you disassemble it and sell the individual components.
I was wanting to buy one for parts, but it just didn't make any sense 
after shipping.

If folks are buying the servo motors and stuff, you might be able to 
disassemble it and sell individual parts.  There's a good market for that 
in the laser printer arena... dunno about inkjets.

(Darn LJ-II was a workhorse... but I finally hit an error that indicated 
one of three things wrong, and two of those three were the most expensive 
components to replace.  I finally gave in stuck it in a closet.  Probably 
time to part it out and see what I can get for the known-working 
components and trash the rest.)
