I Love a Deal

November 22, 2000

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.
