Back HP Officejet Pro 8000 Printer + HP Multipurpose Paper :$0.98 AR trade-in

Q=factory]Can someone provide the trade-in info? I'm not up to speed on this part of the deal.

Here is the link

Trade-in

Actually HP provided a different link to the right of this printer. Looks like things changed a bit. It now goes to the T&C.

Link1

Here is another link per HP for online submittal.

Link2

Trade in may be invalidated if used with coupon code. Trade in must have been owned for at least one year, so no trading in another 8000 wired or wireless from previous deals.

"Trade-in proof-of-ownership requirements
The end-user or Authorized HP Channel Partner must warrant that all trade-in equipment has been
owned by the end-user for at least one year and has been used in the end-user's business in the
previous year."

Printer listed by OP is not wireless. Wireless 8000 is $99.99 - $50 rebate = 49.99

You forgot to apply the coupon code.

Can the same person use this trade-in program more than once? I can't see anything that says you can't.

This is direct from the link on the printer's page. It sure doesn't sound like the coupon will invalidate the trade-in rebate to me:

C320 said: Looks like people need to read the T & C . Within them there is a table listing the maximum allowable Cash Back. Looks like the application of the coupon code will reduce the $ amount on the tradein.

Unfortunately, it looks like I'm in agreement with you. Using the same info I provided above, it looks like the cheapest (after trade-in rebate, instant rebate, coupon, etc.) that either the 8000 wired or wireless printer can be obtained is $30.

Original price of 8000 wireless is $180 - $150 (maximum rebate amount) = $30.

Original price of 8000 wired is $150 - $120 (maximum rebate amount) = $30.

treehugger said: Even at $30 the wireless one is decent price IMHO.

I agree.

I just tried to cancel my 8000 wired printer order (which I only placed an hour ago) but the printer had already been sent to FedEx (that's sure fast). Now I'll have to send it back after I receive it (they pay to ship it back though).

Note - I just called in and talked with a CSR in the rebate department and it does work the way I thought it did. You can't get either printer for a net cost of less than $30.

The title of this thread should definitely be changed.

1st rule of doing deal is "do not call".
2nd rule of doing deal is "not to assume CSR knows what they are talking about".

Sorry, you may be a senior member but you're wrong on this one. Calling in to verify the specifics of a rebate is not "ruining" the chances of anyone getting in on this deal (a deal, which in fact, is misleadingly described in the title of the thread). Additionally, even though I agree that many CSRs have no idea what they're talking about, this one was from the U.S. and was very knowledgeable. Given what she said, and what is now obvious to myself and others after CAREFULLY reading through the T & C (something I should have done before ordering), the least anyone is going to get either of these printers for is $30.

Dig out some old threads about HP printer trade in deals for the last 4~6 months and you will see how people got more than the supposed maximum coupon/trade-in discount. I belive the 1st few were about buying the Staples version of the HP 8000 wireless printer. Even though Staples has their own model/part number and is not listed in the HP trade in site, HP still pay $50 for trade in when a printer is sent to them.

Here is a very stupid question: I have two older printers in my basement that I've been meaning to put in a yard sale, but this seems like such a great deal (thanks to you guys for all the info you post on here!). Okay, I read the T&C on the HP site, etc, but am really having a hard time figuring out *how* I can 'prove' ownership.

I mean, I did read about the end user agreement stuff, but I don't understand what that means. I also do not have my receipts anymore. One my dad sent me, and one I bought at WalMart. How do I prove it if I chose to send one in with the paperwork? Is this something they actually check?

Thanks so much in advance, I absolutely love you guys! On here reading every single day but too afraid to post...so please be kind.

Here's what the HP Trade-In and Save 2009 Terms and Condition states, which contradicts that text.

In the case where there is a Big Deal/Contract pricing, customer can take the higher of the two. This will be based off of HP Street Price. (Contact nicolebarrett@HP.com for any exceptions.) If the customer does not qualify for any additional rebates, they are still eligible to receive the free shipping and free recycling, based on the fact that a new eligible printer or scanner was purchased. The customer needs to contact nicole.barrett@HP.com to complete the form.
=============================================================

Now, what constitutes "specific programs that have been approved for combinability by HP," or whether the PDF language is enforced is anyone's guess. Certainly some of the more recent FAC (free after coupon) HP trade-in deals are getting nearer to the HP Street Price. I for one would be peeved to get less than the expect $50 rebate from HP.

well..My order was cancelled..
inaccurate inventory per the email..BS

PennySaved said: I ordered the wireless HP 8000. Will work great on trips when needing to print something out from laptop. Thanks OP!
On trips??? Have you seen the size of this monster?

anybody else's order canceled? still shows up as in-stock online...

As of now (Thu eve, 2145 PDT), the wired version is out of stock ("please check back soon") but the wireless unit (which has ethernet capability) is still available. Costs a bit more money, however ($25), for wireless. With a $50 credit for a turned in printer, the prices aren't bad, in my view. Maybe free shipping, too.

Abdu said: I am lost. Can't make up my mind if this is a deal or not . Can anybody clarify what one can expect.
Duh! Simple. What is the suggested retail price of the printer and what is the price after coupons, trade-in etc. Then ask yourself the question: Do I really need this or not?? A deal is a deal - but I pass on many of them. again, Do I really need this or not. If still undecided, then pass on this. That will leave one more in inventory for someone else who will grab this deal.
