What is going on with the price of this printer? and presently amazon is at 850 (i should mention that the Brother website lists the street price of this product at 699.99 NOT 1000) so my question: what is going on with the price of this printer?

You got me the best price that I could find was $200 less than Amazon - delivered! At $550 I'd buy it, at this price they can keep them.

The likely answer is that this printer was to appear on the market on March 20, 2006. Given the features and quality of this machine, I also expect that the initial peak of orders would cause some delays. I've been looking at it since February, and am ready to place the order. Good luck.

I have been watching the price on amazon and it alwasy varied between 611 to 650. but all of sudden they raised it to $999, it doesnt make any sense to any one after looking at this. Are they trying to create a hype or just want to kill the product? whatever so it is not a wise decision in either way.

I was able to get one on amazon.com for 499.00 two weeks ago from 17th Street Photo. Crazy how it's sold by Portable Guy for hundreds of dollars more whenever it's the only merchant left selling it here. Yeah, better wait for other merchants on amazon.com to make it available then Portable Guy reduces its price too (but still the more expensive one).

How did you get your rebate form? When I ordered the printer on April 12 the product description said there was a $100.00 rebate. Now I have the printer, no rebate form, and no mention on Amazon.com of the rebate.

I had a similar problem. Apparently, the printer circuitry is able to sense that this is a "not new" toner cartridge. I ordered 4 of these and had this same issue with 3 of them. Sometimes, I was able to get rid of the error by unplugging the printer, but soon the error came up again making printing impossible. I even tried some instructions I found on the www for resetting a Brother toner cartridge, this too, helped for a while. I don't have the time to waste. The real Brother cartridges are available on Amazon at a great price and at least one of the box office stores is now price matching Amazon. My condolences! I had a similar problem.

J, I contacted Brother and then Buffalo Technologies directly. I found that the Buffalo/Techworks part number had changed. It is now PM133-512 and can be found using the memory configuator on the middle of the page at: http://www.buffalotech.com/products/memory/ It costs about $114.75 plus shipping there. However, after MUCH searching (including EBay, Amazon, Newegg & MANY others), I also found a guaranteed compatible memory module for about 1/2 the price. goto: http://www.oempcworld.com Then search for 512M-SO133 or (all on one line) its: http://www.oempcworld.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Category_Code=144pin&Screen=PROD&Product_Code=512M-SO133 There its about $69.85 plus $1 insurance and free shipping. Before ordering, I spoke to OEMPCWORLD and they guaranteed that their chip would work or my money back. I ordered it, got it a few days later, installed it and it worked PERFECTLY. I even called Brother to see how I could be POSITIVE it was working and after several tries, they figured out the instructions to get the printer to print out its memory report. Prior to installation it showed 128mb (on lower right of page at bottom - hard to find, but its there) and after installation, it showed 640mb so the machine recognized the new 512mb SODIMM module and its been fine ever since. By the way, the Brother 9840cdw is a really GREAT Machine, too. I love using it and the print quality is pretty awesome.

I looked closely at Amazon and I could not find one. When I looked at the negative reviews, the reviewer said it was not a genuine brother product. I ended up buying it at a local office supply store. If you find one on Amazon kindly post the link =)

I don't sell Brother Ink Cartridges - I buy them, from Amazon. The only difference is price - these are the same cartridges. As I'm sure you've already realized, the same product can show up on Amazon with different sellers and prices. The ASIN B004VMTYQY product shows that Brother is the seller. The one I purchased at $27.36 shows Amazon.com LLC as the seller. That's the difference.

Hello Thank you for sending me your query. One thing. I ordered this Catridge from AMAZON.COM as spare catridge. Still I am using the original catridge which came with the printer. Before buying it, I saw reviews in http://amazon.com. There are lot of 5 star reviews are there. Based on these reviews I got this catridge. So before buying it, please see the reviews. If it didn't work, you may return it. Thank you.

Amazon is not asking $900 for this product. One seller is asking that price, and my guess is that this is a product that's been listed for awhile by someone with the kind of algorithm that once created a book about flies that was being sold for $23,698,655.93. I can tell you what I paid for this very same machine (like new, minus accessories): $7 at a local non-profit store. So, there you go: the price is somewhere between $7 and $900. ;) For a real answer: since it's not a "new" model, I assume, it's probably worth what someone is willing to pay for it on eBay.

&gt;For some low end printers, it's almost cheaper to buy a new printer than to buy replacement cartridges. Exactly, I just bought the MX860 and will test it against HP C7280 (both brand new still in box). Problem is that I can't find third-party toner for the MX860. Those CLI-221 are availible only without chips and I am worried that to some design and patent scheme that will not change. I am guessing that replacing a full set of toner twice will be more than the initial printer cost. For HP I can find descent (according to some reviews) third-party toner. Yet I am guessing the MX860 is a better machine...I'll have some decisions to make.

It's the case of pay me now or pay me later. Printers are underpriced and supplies are overpriced. You need to calculate your per copy cost based on projected usage.

That is an interesting price point! If you think their ink price is disgusting take a look at Ricoh's. Its laser cartridges easily add up to a downpayment on a new house! I did finally get Canadian support on the machine on the issue of making the network server feature work (use Firefox not Chrome if you are on a Mac) and once I networked it, it has not power-failed ever again. The internet server has to REMAIN ON all the time. Don't know how long that will last but it has turned out to be a gem for its low price tag.

okay I need some help/info. I got the 2170w brother printer. I thought it came with a drum too? listed on the side of the box.. well my toner light is blinking, still printing though. So do I just need to buy a drum? What do I do from there, stick it into the toner that exists? Confused since the drum I saw on amazon says compatible w/ toner model xxx whatever. So do they work together? Or do I just stick the drum in place of the toner that I put in there..? Thanks!

Same here...."Early Feb....blah, blah, blah" from HP and nothing better from Amazon. IN happier news, price just dropped $20 from when I originally pre-ordered so I had them adjust the price. Will be watching the price like a hawk before it ships for any further drops.
