No, no,,If I can get it on the cheap, thats great, Im just a little bit "business friendly" in that I want the guy I go to to be there when I need him. I also look at costs for him & what does it take for him to sell me that gasket. The costs he has in the equipment, maintenance, service life, production rate, all play a part in the final price to me. Now, IF he is inefficient & IF he isnt competitive, Then hes gonna get cut out of the loop. But, W/O access to any real numbers ( cost of equipment & materials & maintenance) but having seen the stuff work. I think $14.00 is not unreasonable. But maybe the equipment is cheaper than the "Gee whiz wouldya look at that!?" feeling I had when I saw it made me think it is. If the little "Printer" with the traveling stylus costs $200.00 & the software costs $50.00 & a roll of paper costs $20.00, then hes screwing the heck out of us..especially if it doesnt need repairs..OTOH,,that danged machine may have cost him a small fortune, & NOW, new machines may not cost much at all. I just need NUMBERS before I can have an idea about what price is fair.
