Surplus Copiers

In light of our economic conditions, you may be thinking of struggling with an old or inefficient copier for another year, or you may have a new center or area where you do not know what the volume will be and want a machine for a while to get them started. BC has a few surplus copiers available that have been cleaned and maintained, and have a year or two of expected life left. Depending on the features and volume required, a surplus machine may be an option for you. These machines are available at no cost. NECS will move your existing copier maintenance to the surplus machine and remove the old machine. NECS provides this service as part of our existing contract. If you feel you may have a need for a surplus machine, please contact Bob Tiernan, our NECS representative at 781-935-4340 to determine if one of these machines may fit your need. Machines are available on a first come, first serve basis.
