Perfect example of consumables costing more than the printer:

Brother MFC-7440N multi-function. Even at its non-rebate price of $289, it's cheaper to buy a new unit than it is to buy a new drum ($294) and toner ($200).

If anyone is considering this thing, might as well just buy multiples with the rebate for $179. Then you can resell the toner (low yield at $140 for 1000 pages) and drums for profit. Or keep them. Though $179 is still going to be the most expensive 1000 pages you've ever printed in black and white.

I suppose you could always resell the printers at $50 and drums at $130 on their own to break even on toner use. You know, to another sucker.
