Some time ago, someone in this company had the bright idea to lease a photocopier, rather than buy it. I'm sure they figured it probably wouldn't last more than a couple of years anyway.

We've been leasing it for twelve years now, and have only had to have it serviced once.

Ah, but see, if they'd bought it, it would have broken down in less than 2 months. ;) Murphy's law, you know.

Wow, that's a tough copier....I have to make service calls a couple of times a year for all our copiers, sometimes more!!!

(Of course we've got a lot of volume here, which probably explains why.)

There must be some tax advantage, because it would have been fully depreciated many moons ago... On the other hand, why can't the leasing agency upgrade the friggin' thing so you're not stuck with 1989 technology ?

We used to lease a water cooler to go with out spring water... We could have bought the damn thing 1.5 times, by the time we moved to Wisconsin

there IS a tax advantage.......

i wish we'd have leased a copier.......this one we have is a PAIN IN THE BUTT after 4 years......the service guys are on a first name basis with the clerical staff........they even keep there own coffee cups at our office........
