We are looking at a 40 watt entry level laser and are being quoted very high from Epilog and Trotec and Universal too I believe.
The exact lasers we are looking at are the Trotec speedy 100 40 watt with air assist, Epilog 40 watt mini 18x12, and the Universal 3.50 40 watt.
The Epilog is being quoted at list price with the stand thrown in and that's the huge favor there...
Then the Trotec when I was initially quoted on the speedy 100 a similar price to the Epilog 40 list price but today was told that was the 30 watt quote even though I thought I was quoted on the Rayjet 30 watt and then the Speedy 100 40 watt since we were planning on 40 watts for quite some time. Now the 40 watt price and 50 watt quote price on the speedy just seemed insane. The whole cost of one of those tubes is 3-4k isn't it?
I'm not sure if putting the prices down is allowed or what not. Can someone PM me what reasonable prices should be? There should be show specials / SMC discounts going on but it sure doesn't seem like it at all.
Btw we are going to be engraving mostly, starting with phone cases and going from there, already use a 40 watt machine that isn't ours...
Thanks
