I'm a great fan of industrial-strength products. You're talking my
language. But I've got one question:
Let's say I want to buy one of these machines used. Would it have been
beat-to-within-one-inch-of-death by its office users? Can I get
affordable repair parts in that case? Is it made to be more easily
repairable than consumer products are nowadays?
These are my bottom-line questions. I'd appreciate good answers. Thanks.

That really depends. I have bought printers on ebay with less than a dozen
pages printed, others have been at half of life. You should look into the
page count of any printer you are considering, and compare the actual page
count with the warranty page count (multiple the duty cycle times the
warranty period). In the case of the Business Inkjet 1000 this was 6250
pages per month and probably a 12 month warranty, a warranty life of 75K
pages. A printer with 200K pages would be well worn, one with 20-50K
pages should have plenty of life.

Parts for HP are generally available from http://partsurfer.hp.com/, or
links from there. Unfortunately it appears that the BIJ 1000 parts are not
currently available.
