Beware Of the Copier Trade In Trap Before You Sign That New Lease.

We call it the Trade In Trap. Very few companies negotiate this part of the transaction. Where does that copier go at the end of the lease? Why aren’t you getting a piece of the action? Talk to the document experts at CopySmart. There’s a whole new way to look at the transaction.

Blame it on the fair market value lease. The leasing and copier companies love the FMV lease because it’s almost always a natural upgrade for the selling company and the leasing company. Well, what happens to the asset?

The leasing company either takes it back and resells it or the selling dealership buys out the lease buyout and rents sells or releases it again. You get nothing. If you do get a trade in in the new deal, it’s probably just an inflated-deflated number that’s designed to make it look like you get a reward. Have you been duped? Probably.

Not only can CopySmart buy your used copiers and wide format printers, but we can also help you on the next lease agreement you enter into. It’s a 35 year old trick of the trade. 95% of copier leases signed have such small print and impossible to understand fully, buyers rarely ask for changes to the agreement or terms.
