Ex-display discount item
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=806835
I recently bought an ex-display HP F2280 printer from PC World, the unit was 
out on the shelf and I asked the seller to find the original box and its 
content. Luckily all printer's ink cartridges were there and I decided to buy 
it with bargain price of £29.99. The price of the unit if it were still in the 
sealed box was £44.99, but because the unit was a display model, PC World slash 
off £15 from the price tag. The unit works fine at my home now. Also, HP had 
this twisted marketing scheme, the cheaper the printer unit the more expensive 
the cartridge price. If I were to buy the lowest HP printer model, say HP D1560 
for £29.35, then the future purchase of its cartridge would cost me around £70. 
Therefore, buy higher model and check the price of its cartridges before hand. 
It might be wise to keep the original box with the receipt inside as well, in 
case if you need to return faulty unit and get the new replacement.
