If you feel the GR72 is too hefty of a price, then maybe you should look at another brand. Most of these guys will make about 20% gross profit. On this unit would be $900.00, subtract freight $150.00, setup, another $100.00, He has a salary to pay to the person you are buying it from, the longer it takes for you to decide to buy, the more expense that is involved, let's guess $50.00, that puts his gross profit down to $600.00. Then if you do have a problem with it, you want him to have the parts you need to fix it, more expense. And you want him to discount it a little??????? How is this man supposed to stay in business if he keeps giving away his profit???
