Commercial copier purchases rarely have a single right answer because the category spans replacement parts, finisher components, and complete machines. You might be trying to keep an existing copier running with a parts lot, or you might need a complete color copier/printer that can handle finished documents. The real tension is deciding whether the missing piece is a machine or a component of one. That is the practical difference between the four options compared here.
Quick take
The four options split into two groups: complete machines and components/parts.
- The Ricoh Booklet Finisher Dual Saddle Stitch Stapler Assembly is the used dual-staple mechanism for compatible Ricoh finishing equipment.
- The Xerox C9070 Color Copier Printer is the full-color multifunction system.
- The two Sharp MX parts lots are a bundle of feed rollers, bushings, sensors, gears, and other components.
- The Ricoh IM C300 Multifunction Color Laser Printer Copier is a tested used color laser that prints and copies.

Product notes
Ricoh Booklet Finisher Dual Saddle Stitch Stapler Assembly
This used Ricoh assembly gives you the dual staple/saddle-stitch mechanism for a booklet finisher without replacing the entire finisher. The USD 300.00 unit is a complete OEM mechanism with two staple units, two staple cartridge holders, green release handles, springs, mounting hardware, a metal frame, and internal paper guide components. The condition is the trade-off: it is sold as used and untested after being removed from professional equipment, though the assembly appears complete and is in good physical condition with normal signs of wear. Pick it when you already have the compatible Ricoh finisher and need a genuine stapler assembly. The limitation is that the untested status means you should plan to inspect or recondition it before relying on it for production finishing.
Xerox C9070 Color Copier Printer
This is the fully equipped full-color option in the group and the one with the highest price at USD 4,795.00. It is a used color copier, network printer, and network scanner with automatic duplexing, a booklet finisher, finishing capabilities, and a Fiery controller. Black and color speeds are both 70 ppm, and the paper capacity is 4,000 sheets. The 61k meter count is useful context for evaluating used production equipment. Choose it when the workload is high enough to justify the price. The limitation is that the upfront cost is the highest outlay in this comparison, so the decision depends on production volume and finishing needs.
2-LARGE LOTS of Sharp Mostly MX-Copier, Printer Parts
At USD 20.00, this is the lowest price in the comparison. It includes two large lots, each photo representing one lot, and the contents include feed rollers, bushings, sensors, gears, and many more items than pictured. The parts are mostly Sharp MX series components for desktop, mid-volume, and production machines, making this a practical way to keep commonly replaced wear items on hand if you maintain several Sharp copiers. The limitation is the broad mix: since the lot is not individually itemized, you may end up with parts you do not need if your goal is one specific Sharp MX component. The value is in the bundle, not the precision.
Ricoh IM C300 Multifunction Color Laser Printer Copier
The Ricoh IM C300 is the complete-machine answer for someone who wants printing and copying in one color laser unit without stepping up to the Xerox price. It is priced at USD 500.00, used but tested and working, with print counts ranging from 3,500 to 9,300. Black and color speeds are both 31 ppm, which handles routine office documents. The trade-off versus the Xerox C9070 is throughput: 31 ppm is suited to normal office workflow, not high-volume production runs. If you need a multifunction copier rather than a parts project, this is the lower-cost complete machine in the group. The limitation is speed; choose it when the workload is moderate and the budget points toward the lower half of this price spread.
Final recommendation by use case
If the goal is a single machine capable of color printing and finished output, the Xerox C9070 Color Copier Printer is the strongest match for that workload. If you want a complete, tested color multifunction unit without the jump to the top of the price range, the Ricoh IM C300 is the more practical pick. If your finishing unit is already in place and only the stapler assembly is the issue, the Ricoh Booklet Finisher is the direct component-level solution, with the untested condition as the caveat. If you maintain Sharp MX copiers and want a broad assortment of wear parts, the two Sharp lots are the parts-bundle route. Match the purchase to the bottleneck; the lowest sticker price is not automatically the right answer.
