If all your looking for is a nice laser printer for home use, check out the surplus sales at UCSD <http://surplus.ucsd.edu>. I picked up a HP Laserjet 4P for $35 that had only 950 pages printed on it. That's not even two reams of paper. The guy tht runs the shop takes the best stuff and puts it out front so you can take a look at it. The items listed for auction are fairly hit-or-miss, or at least that's what he told me.
