A guy showed up at the shop door today with a pick-up load of new
equipment to sell.

I've seen this 'pickup full of equipment from a show' marketing ploy
several times. They seem to target small businesses where they can
talk to an owner who has the means to write a big check for the entire
truckload.

I know someone who **did** buy the entire load, but I haven't heard
any impressions of the quality of the equipment. If memory serves the
manufacturer was in one of the Carolinas but that is all I remember.
