Used Copiers for Sale in Johannesburg

KM Connect SA supplies used and refurbished Konica Minolta copiers to businesses across Johannesburg and Gauteng from our base in Randburg. Every machine is checked and serviced per unit before it is offered, its meter reading is disclosed with your quote, and delivery and installation in Gauteng is carried out by our own team. If you are looking for a second hand copier in Johannesburg and want to buy it from a dealer who will still be there after delivery, request a quote and we will confirm current stock, condition and firm pricing.

Why buy a used copier from a Johannesburg dealer

Johannesburg businesses have two broad ways to buy a used copier: a classifieds listing from a private seller, or a dealer refurbished machine. The difference matters. A privately sold copier comes with no inspection standard, no verified meter reading and no recourse if it fails a month later. A dealer refurbished unit has been through a defined inspection, service and testing process, its condition and meter reading are confirmed to you before you commit, and the same team that prepared it can service it afterwards.

As an authorised Konica Minolta dealer, we sell, service and support Konica Minolta equipment every day across our new, refurbished and rental offerings. The people who prepare your used copier for sale are the people who keep it running.

What used copiers cost in Johannesburg

Every used copier is priced on its own condition, meter reading, service history and configuration. As orientation, the current South African market bands as follows:

  • Black & white bizhub copiers (small office to workgroup class): Estimated market range R9,000-R25,000 (2026 SA dealer listings; final quote per unit condition).
  • Colour bizhub copiers: Estimated market range R15,000-R35,000 (2026 SA dealer listings; final quote per unit condition).
  • Production class machines: request a quote, priced per unit condition and configuration.

Request a quote and we will confirm the specific unit’s meter reading, condition grade and firm price, including delivery to your area.

Choosing a used copier for your print volume

Tell us your approximate monthly pages via the quote form and we will recommend specific available units rather than making you guess.

Delivery and installation across Johannesburg and Gauteng

We deliver and install used and refurbished copiers throughout Johannesburg, including Sandton, Randburg, Roodepoort, Midrand and the East Rand, and across Gauteng. Installation is carried out by our own Randburg-based team: we position the machine, connect it to your network and confirm it is running correctly before we leave. Nationwide delivery outside Gauteng is arranged with your quote.

Replacing an existing machine? Mention it when you request a quote. We can plan the removal of your old copier and the installation of the replacement in one visit.

Wherever your office sits in greater Johannesburg, delivery and installation is carried out by our own Randburg-based team:

  • the northern corridor: Sandton, Bryanston, Fourways, Rosebank and Midrand, through to the Centurion edge
  • our own backyard: Randburg, Ferndale, Cresta and the surrounding north-western suburbs
  • the East Rand: Kempton Park, Edenvale, Germiston, Benoni and Boksburg
  • the West Rand: Roodepoort and Krugersdorp

Elsewhere in South Africa, nationwide delivery is arranged and confirmed with your quote, including installation details for your area.

What to check when you view a used copier

Whether you buy from us or anyone else, these checks tell you most of what matters about a second hand machine:

  • The meter reading: ask for it in writing. It is the single best proxy for how much working life the machine has left.
  • A test print and a test copy: print a page and copy a page, then compare them. Streaks on the copy but not the print point to the scanner; artefacts on both point to the print path.
  • Paper handling: run several sheets through every tray, including the bypass. Hesitation or misfeeds point to worn rollers.
  • The scan path: scan a document to email or USB and check the file. This exercises the feeder, the optics and the network path in one go.
  • What happens to the hard drive: ask whether stored documents are overwritten or the drive replaced before handover.

A dealer unit should have these points documented rather than leaving you to discover them.

Used copier FAQs: what Johannesburg buyers ask

Used, refurbished or remanufactured: what the terms mean

The words get used loosely in adverts, so it pays to know what each one should mean before you compare prices:

  • Used, as-is: the machine is sold in whatever condition it is in. There is no defined inspection standard, the meter reading is rarely verified, and the buyer carries the full risk if something fails a month later. This is the typical private-classifieds sale.
  • Refurbished: a used machine prepared for resale through a defined dealer process: inspection, servicing and replacement of worn parts where needed, function testing before dispatch, and a disclosed condition grade and meter reading. Every used copier we sell is refurbished on these terms.
  • Remanufactured: the strictest tier, where the machine is rebuilt to a like-new specification with a high proportion of components replaced. It is rare in the South African office-copier market and priced accordingly.

The practical test when buying: ask the seller which of the three applies and ask for the meter reading. A vague answer is itself an answer, and it belongs in the price you are willing to pay.

Common problems with used copiers, and how dealers fix them

Used copiers fail in predictable ways. Knowing the failure points tells you exactly what a dealer’s preparation is worth:

  • Worn feed rollers and paper-path parts: the classic cause of misfeeds and jams. Rollers are consumable parts with a finite life; a dealer replaces worn ones during refurbishment.
  • Fuser wear: toner that does not fuse properly, smudges or creased output usually points to the fuser. It is checked and replaced or serviced as needed.
  • Drum wear: faded, streaked or ghosted images come from a drum at the end of its life. Drums are inspected and replaced where required.
  • Dirty scanner optics: copies come out streaky while prints stay clean, because the scanner glass and mirrors have gathered dust. A proper preparation includes cleaning the whole scan path.
  • The hard drive: an office copier’s disk holds copies of documents it has printed and scanned over the years. Data overwrite or drive replacement protects both you and the previous owner, and it is standard in a dealer’s process.
  • End-of-life consumables: as-is sellers often ship machines with toner, waste bottles and drums that are nearly empty. A dealer factors fresh consumables into the quoted condition and price.

None of these faults are exotic. The difference between a good and a bad used purchase is simply whether someone checked, replaced and tested these items before the machine reached your office. That is the whole case for buying dealer-prepared.

What is the difference between a used and a refurbished copier?

A refurbished copier is a used machine that has been through a dealer’s defined inspection, service and testing process, with its condition and meter reading confirmed before sale. Every used copier we sell is refurbished on these terms. See our refurbishment process page for the full checklist.

Do you deliver to Sandton, Midrand and the East Rand?

Yes. We deliver and install across greater Johannesburg and all of Gauteng from our Randburg base, and arrange nationwide delivery beyond Gauteng. Timing is confirmed with your quote.

Can I buy outright, rent or buy new instead?

Yes to all three. We quote new Konica Minolta machines and rental solutions alongside our used and refurbished range, so the recommendation can follow your usage rather than one sales lane. Request a quote with your monthly volume and we will advise.

What condition are the machines in?

Condition and meter reading are confirmed per unit with your quote. Because no two used copiers are identical, pricing follows condition rather than a fixed list price, and you know exactly where your machine sits before you commit.

What is a meter reading, and why does it matter?

The meter reading is the total number of pages the machine has printed in its life, the equivalent of mileage on a car. A lower meter means more remaining component life. We disclose the meter reading of the specific unit with your quote, along with its condition grade, so you can weigh price against remaining life.

Do used copiers come with backup support?

Support and servicing arrangements are quoted per unit alongside the machine. Because we are the dealer that prepared it, the same team can keep servicing your copier after delivery. The support arrangements for your unit are confirmed with your quote.
