Now that you have the software you can add a machine for much less. I first purchased 3 AMAYA's but already had design shop so I paid $30,000 for 3 machines and then again this last Sept I bought 3 XT's and they were just under 30,000 before myrade in so that initial purchase was more than just the machine but everything you need to run it. Will you get 25k back out of it, no but you should have recovered some cost by using it and selling the products and you always have to figure in depreciation. I almost sold my 3 reds last year for $18k but at the last minute I decided against that and am glad I kept them although having a 6 head hat machine would be nice but for the sales increase I have so far this year it barely pays for my increase in emplyoee cost so another machine payment is not at tractive at the moment. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
