I hung up the phone... as excited as a kid with an invitation
to meet superman, or something like that.
YES, YES, YES, YES...
I think my degree of excitement is directly proportional to the
amount of persistent phone calling I had to do... in order to order
my scanner ... not at
MSRP...
(Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price - for our European readers)
MSRP, that's about the dirtiest four letter acronym that I know
of...
NO NO NO... don't say retail to me...
Hey, I was trained in the markets of the middle east for crying
out loud -
I did come close to paying retail I confess. But since the manufacturer
was not going to ship till Monday, I decided to try the distributor
one more time.
It must be that my weeping and gnashing of teeth got through to
Kevin on my third attempt.
Kevin says.. Ok...NSR... here's what I am going to do... even though
I have to break rules and all, but since you don't have a dealer
in your state, send me a purchase order for the following part number
and I'll drop $270 off of the list price.....
YES
A DEAL
He said it would ship on Monday...
New scanner by Tuesday....
Watch out web site... new pics on the way.
