I'm looking to buy one of the big three (uls,epilog,trotec). Discounts at shows are often referred to as the best deal. While i'm sure each show and vendor are different, anybody got an general idea of what to expect? Or perhaps where your discount was of general list?
2%, 5% 10%. Looking for a starting point.........

This is a recent topic so just doing a search on show discounts should turn up the information we have.

Offer to buy within 10 days if they can get you 20 percent off list. If you don't get it from any vendor I'll be surprised.

I will be attending a show in Las Vegas in October with the intention of purchasing our second Trotec machine. I plan on purchasing before the end of the year for tax reasons, plus shows usually give you an opportunity to negotiate. Remember, everything is negotiable.

Best of luck in your purchase!
