I paid $3500 for this plotter,cutter and a bunch of vinyl and color cartriges. Wondering if I got screwed.....I have no time to elarn how to use this and it may be up for grabs really quick here

probably , depends how old it is . if you have a use for it then fine but if it's only been used as a very large door stop .........

sorry just had to say it
i would have gone to about $2500 - $3000 , but again i don't like spendn $$$ , unless i have a real need for it

Which model is it? IF it's a PC600 then it's a pretty good deal ( as long as the print heads isn't screwed....) If you're just looking at cutting vinyl then it's over kill and should have gotten a cutter without the printing. I have a PC60, They are great for small decals but not so good for large stuff. Ink is extremly expensive compared to Inkjets. Most people are selling to upgrade to a VersaJet. Check your printhead.
