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.

IMHO,
