Re: [Digital BW] 1160 on refurbdepot not in stock

2001-08-29 by James E. Martz

I ordered one from them the end of May and got it a several weeks 
ago  --  busted.  I called Epson and they overnighted a replacement to me 
that's working fine.

I expected a wait, but not that much and you can't get the status from 
their web site.

Would I do it again?  Probably if I wasn't in a hurry for it and the price 
difference was worth it.  Apparently, the 1160s are getting a scarce as 
hens' teeth, so you can expect quite a wait.
