bought original toner and drum at amazon for 130 including shipping
i could have paid 194 at office max including tax. saved 34%
I could have paid $70 for a remanufactured 30 toner+shipping. not much savings for something that you know will work

 Drum With a Short Life October 27, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
The DR-350 drum that came with my original MFC Brother printer lasted about a year. I use this printer in a home office, with a moderate amount of printing. Since replacing the drum unit (twice), the life of the drum has been less than acceptable. Even with a new (not reburbished) drum, black streaks appeared on all of my printed pages. With the new drum installed, the printer unit message still indicated a new drum was needed.
This drum also comes as a complete unit with the TN-350 toner. I tried that as well, with the same results, PLUS I received intermittent messages that the toner was low only a week after installation, with minimal use.
Might be a drum unit problem; might be a printer problem. Either something is wrong with sensors in the printer, or the drum units are poorly constructed. Can't tell which it is, but either way, makes for poor printing quality.
Buy HL-2040 printer (with new drum) for less money October 19, 2007

The brother HL-2040 printer often goes on sale for 65 to 70 bucks. Just throw away the printer but use the DR-350 drum and the starter toner cartridge ($25 worth of toner).
This trick, plus the tape-over-hole trick for extending toner cartridge life, reduces your consumables cost by 40%. Well under 2 cents per page...better than any other laser printer I know of.
 a business trickery September 15, 2007

Brother printers may be cheap, but the drum units for them are not. This is a classic business trickery. They tease you with a cheap first buy. Then you have no choice but to continue buy the expensive parts. Furthermore, the quality of the drum is not good either. The company says that one drum unit can be used for 12,000 pages assuming 5% coverage. This is not true. The drum unit replaced with the original one in my printer had problems far before printing that number of pages based on 5% coverage.
As always, seamless transaction and great product July 13, 2007

I don't buy my drums / toner cartridges from anywhere else since I've started getting them from Amazon. They're a great price, consistently in perfect condition and the fastest shipping around. I'm a repeat customer for this item and will continue to be.
