I also second the idea of securing financing before shopping. It will also help to use multiple exit strategies should circumstances change.

Id rather sign a new lease every 12 months instead of payng $3000 unpfront..But you dont have to start there. I actually have that new HP 8600 as well, that on is really good. Costoc had it for $199 last week. Reguarly $299 at Staples

And i use humans to fold and stuff my letters...LOL My neighbors wife stay homes so she folds each letter for 5 cents. I do only 2 mailings so i dont pressure her itll take her 5-7 days to finsh up aboour 3000 of them. I dont pressure here its saves me alot..

Lol. Good job getting others to fold,  maybe that could work with my wife.

@Dan Kalis Thank you. I haven't been able to contact them. Been very busy tending to pregnant wife. I guess I am thinking various options as funding sources. I will take a look at your article tonight for sure.

I takes roughly .40 cent to create letter, stuff and fold an mail out..

Postage .31 cent

Paper .01 cent

Envelope .01

Ink i cant really pin point the exact cost of that..But i have a really two really good printers and their set to get the best out of the ink usuage..I can get about 3000 (give or take) prints per $125 spent on ink...

and .05 per enveloped stuffed and folded...

Its cheaper to do you own, and you'd save alot more money. The only actual part i put energy myself into doing is to refill the printer with envelopes and paper...and change the ink when needed. I do two mailings per month. So i spend about 2 hours every 15 days siting at my computer changing ink and refilling envelope and paper trays...Youd save more time of course going thru a yellow letter service..But i like to save and if your just starting out this is a much managable way of doing this without breaking the bank...

 That's awesome! Just inspired me to do this myself.  Do you mind telling us what kind of printer you use? Also what do you stuff envelope with?

@Jon Holdman If no cash is exchanged on a subject to sale, how does the seller make a profit? I think I am missing something.

@Andy Collins Sounds like they "CYA" very well. I don't blame them. Very good information.
