Digital BW, The Print

This may already be old news to those who have tried it, but if you happen to 
see that the 1160 is "in stock" at defurbdepot, don't bite. It's a lie to get your 
order - though not your money.  

They take the order, and credit card number which they don't charge, then 
under "status" say "pending review". This is code for "we didn't have it in stock 
but we said we did on the site just in case one shows up".

So much for putting any faith in ordering on line from refurbdepot.  And, of 
course, their phones (available just 36 hrs a week) are often busy. But they 
did answer their email within a day.

For those who will tell me "toldya so", you were right, for the orthers, be 
warned.

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.
