Amazon: Here's a normal price on the toner for your Xerox printer, marked at a 37% discount from the usual price of "nobody buys it at this price".
Also Amazon, just down the page:
Consider this instead: toner for an Epson printer you don't have that isn't compatible at all in any way with your Xerox! It's on sale!

@dashdsrdash Always interesting to me how people get lulled into a sense of false ownership at work. The computer you're using ISN'T yours. That printer you're printing on ISN'T yours, and neither is that paper you're walking away with. Whether or not any of this means anything to you morally is left as an exercise to the reader, but at least stay AWARE that these things are true. I like to tell people about the time the Kinesis group at Amazon sent me a friendly email asking for help because their agent logging EVERY key stroke and mouse movement on my Amazon issued Macbook was running particularly hot and they couldn't figure out why :)
