That's right, Ed. If I buy the Lamp for $255 + shipping, and mark it up 30% that's at least $350. If he buys the lamp from a distributor that will sell it to him. He will have to pay about the same $350. This way, it relieves me of any responsability of future failure. That's a lot of $$$ to shell out on a repair that might NOT hold up long. They say you should get 10,000 hours use from a lamp, but,....guess what,.....they won't warranty it for that long,...and they will NEVER last that long, either.
