Robert,
To put things into perspective, check out the price of their
mini-lathe.
Then take a look at this:
http://tinyurl.com/326sen and I know for a fact, that the very nice
'harryuk' will let you have it for £260 off eBay.
If it's a multi-purpose machine that you want, this has to be 30-35%
below
normal retail price:

Do you really want 30% or more of your money to go on showrooms, sales
assistants, glossy brochures, vans, offices and so on? If not, then
perhaps
you should consider either second-hand (take an expert with you) or try
the
importer above. You'll save yourself a packet that can go towards
tooling.

ps get in touch off list if you'd like some more contact details.



I don't know about anyone else but I'm getting sick of the blatent
spamming that's appearing on the group.

Even if he is a very nice man, although he could just have a cracked
mirror, I don't feel OK with buying out the back of a van in some tatty
motorway service area. It smacks of Eastenders trying to pull a fast
one.

I for one like glossy brochures, I like to see what I'm buying, I like
technical descriptions and not some half assed Ebay blurb.
More to the point I like PRESENCE. Why do you think Roger Warren at
Warco is where he is today?, because you can talk to him at the shows,
examine the goods, even run them under power in his showroom, then make
a decision.

And what's Hooray Harry got? is he going to fire up his generator in
Watford Gap car park and let you knock a few candle sticks off ?

No showrooms, no sales assistants, no glossy brochures, no vans, no
offices, can't be Del Boy, he's got a van, must be Arthur Daly Machine
Tools :eek:

PR.
