I'm having trouble reconciling the 'virtually free' mentioned here and the £15,000 to £20,000 per machine quoted to us by the Platinum saleman. And that figure is AFTER huge discounts given because they were desparate for the business.
I'm sorry, but no product with such a limited operating scope is worth that sort of money.
