OfficeMax has the Brother DCP-7065DN Monochrome Laser Multi-Function Printer for $100 with free shipping. Features up to 27ppm print and copy speeds, ethernet network interface, automatic duplex, and a 35-page auto document feeder. Goes for $130+ elsewhere.
$100
I got one of these back when it was $85 last September. It's worked fine for me so far, and has a nice feature set. Duplex printing and an ADF for the scanner are commonly not included in laser AIO printers in this price range.
Actually, get two if you plan to use it much. It might come with only a 'starter' toner, but it comes with a full drum - which costs more than the whole unit when bought alone after 12,000 prints. As for the toner, it uses the TN450 high-yield cartridge used also in numerous other modes, allowing efficiency in provisioning.
^ Replacement (3rd party) drums are $21 delivered on eBay, even less if you buy the rebuild kit with just the drum instead of a drop-in drum cartridge (drum plus whole plastic frame around it ready to install).
Bulk toner refills are even less expensive, with a 2 pack + reset gear selling for $13 delivered or less on ebay.
I just don't see the economy in buying a 2nd whole printer for this model unless you're thinking that several years from now you would cannibalize it for replacement parts during a more extensive DIY repair... and yet at that point you could just buy another $100 printer instead of buying a 2nd one now.
