Bert,
Different approach, but someone a while back asked how to go about getting a high-capacity scanner (100-200 pages in the loader).
What we have done with SMB clients (where cash is king) is to keep an eye on business auctions, and take your time finding the stuff that you need.
Every location is going to be different, but I am regularly seeing businesses closing down by choice or force, so office gear is going to continue to hit auctions.
