"supply & DEMAND" should be illegal.....sheesh!!
Sadly, pricing on pinnies in general is absurd, and what's even more insulting are the number of dealers who watch eachothers prices and bump up/down accordingly....
I've seen (too often) 2 particularly large dealers, 1 has a machine for $3.5k, the other suddenly lists one for $5.5k, and within 24 hours the original dealer raises his from $3.5 to $5.5k and uses the excuse "that's what the market is at the moment".
I don't think THAT is fair to rasie a machine coz someone else is asking a higher price.
IF that machine initially had $3.5k work of parts/labour into it, then that SHOULD be it's maximum price, it can't just jump up a few grand coz someone else is doing it....
These guys should be selling petrol or used cars, farout!!
Grrrr....polishing my gun,
