You've already got part of your answer right there. 3rd party toners vary in quality quite a bit, and you could end up buying cheap toners multiple times because they don't work or even end up having one that wrecks your printer too.
There are high quality 3rd party toners of course, but the cost on those are almost as high as the oem ones.
At 30% the cost of an oem one, I don't think the ones your hot secretary was talking about are high quality.
