I also see the salespeople writing up orders all day. I'm just looking in from the outside but it seems to me they make money by going to the ISS shows. I have also been to DAX when I lived in Minneapolis which the Melco booth was much slower mainly because they don't get the crowds the ISS gets. I think they are shooting themselves in the foot by not showing up. I'm sure if they sell 10 machines, it would pay for itself. I don't know what the profit margin is but even at 10%, it's $15,000 profit for the weekend. Hotels in Orlando are probably the least expensive in the U.S. I got a Hilton a few months ago for $37 on Priceline. The advertised rate was $79 which is still good. Airfare isn't that bad because every airline flys there. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
