I bought an HP 6L personal laser new on 1/1/98, and am still using it. When I networked my home computers I bought a used one exactly like it off ebay for $40.00 about 2 years ago. I am still using that one.  At some point they will quit, and will be cheaper to get a new one than to fix them, but they have been quite good for me.  Check ebay for used HP lasers as they are considered by most to be the best.  If buying from ebay bothers you, shop around on the Internet.  Check www.pricegrabber.com or www.nextag.com or www.bizrate.com to compare prices.  HP makes the 1500L which is a color laser that lists new for $699.95.  You can find it on ebay or some online store for much less.  Look around.
