Wiggle room in new machine pricing....

wrote: Awl -- Ie, discounts.... If the base price of a machine is $90K, with about $15K in options (rigid tapping, larger carousel, renishaw, programmable coolant, etc), how much wiggle room is there in the bottom-line price? How does one gracefully, visavis combattively, negotiate a discount? Big machine vendors, like Haas, have substantial educational discounts, and I would think that "we" could get at least a piece of that. Iny thoughts? Hey EA, Can you wait until mid-September. IMTS2012 will see a LARGE selection of HAAS product, and they love to have a SOLD sign on a lot of it really early in the show to have other prospective buyers feel "Well, at least one other buyer liked this model." And they have to pack it all up after th show, so shipping may be another price reduction. www.imts.com/ Good luck. Brian Lawson, Bothwell, Ontario. |

If you wait until late in the show, you'll get the shipping slashed and a big discount. We'd sell Sodicks off the floor at 15% off or more, plus the shipping. -- Ed Huntress |
