Sam's Club has Epson R200 for $90.87

[budz]

I was at Sam's Club this morning and was surprised to see the Epson R200 for only $90.87. That's the cheapest I've seen it in my home town. It's about $10.00 cheaper than CompUsa. I'm a bit hesitant in purchasing one with all the posts I've seen in here regarding some of the problems. The one problem I've read about is the cd/dvd tray is weak. There have been many who've had the printer replaced for a new one. My question is how was the unit replaced. Was it by Epson or the store or online store where you purchased it from? I'd appreciate any comments. Thanks in advance!

You kind of missed the boat. Office depot had these a while back with a $50.00 reabte(which I just got). You can also use a coupon for whatever.. 10 off 50 or 15 off 75 or 20 off $75.00, look around for these, for office depot and maybe staples as well. Try fat wallet or slickdeals.

I had mine replaced for that very same problem and got a rapid replacement form Epson...of course the tray prob surfaced again. No biggie though, for $20.00 I'll live with it

naw i didn't miss the boat the last time office depot had them on sale. they never brought the mfer to my local office depot store. hawaii doesn't have a staples store. as i mentioned that sam's club price is so far the cheapest i've seen here in hawaii. i'm still debating if i will get one and i need to find the space for it. another reason why i haven't purchased one is there is only 1 local store that sells printable dvd media and it's expensive. they sell printable 50 pack of DVD-R TAIYO YUDEN 4x speed for $89.00. if i do purchase the printer i'll be ordering printable dvd media from rima.com.

Are Prodisc printables decent media to use? I have a Plextor 708a, Pioneer 107d and a Liteon 411s@811s burners. I see at rima.com the Prodisc printable DVD-R is cheap.

Hello

As to your question about Prodisc. There have been numerous posts on these discs. I have burned over 350 with no problems on the following dvd drives--Pioneer 105, Pioneer 107, and a Panasonic Lf-D521.

I have had no problems with disc compatability or disc play errors. For me, these discs are more reliable and stable than Ritek. Hope this helps.

regards

John

Thanks for the reply! I'll keep that in mind about the Prodisc discs.

Heya - just to let you know, CompUSA currently has a $10 MI Rebate on these printers, as well as 20 free pieces of photo paper, and a $10 gift card.

Budz - Epson has fantastic customer service. They normally overnight a brand new printer in most circumstances, and actually have a pickup arranged for someone to pick up your old printer, so you dont have to worry about shipping.

I think you got me sold on the Epson R200 with that piece of information you just gave me. Thanks again!

Newegg has a special on this printer going right now. Its $83 with free shipping. I just ordered one. I really don't need a whole printer, just something to print disks, but at this price I can't resist.

Yeah & you can get a nice Epson Refill Bulk Ink Feed System R200 for $70 on ebay (buyitnow price)
