Actually, this doesn't sound like too bad of a price, Ed.  However, 
if they just pick up the old one and replace it, are they going
to clean the printer?  I've discovered that although recycling the
old toner cartridges is the environmentally correct thing to do, the
recycled cartridge that is installed isn't as good as a brand new one.
I would advise you to purchase from a company that will sell you new
cartridges, and give you credit for your old one.  Most I have 
seen will give you a $15 credit for your old cartridge toward the
purchase of a new one.
