Ryan, If you're going to SEMA, that would be a good time to pursue this, since all the Miller marketing and sales folks will be there. My experience is that you can get a lot more done in person in a short period of time as compared to exchanging e-mail and playing phone tag.
I have a Miller welder and I would not give it up for anything, so I hope their other products aka "TIG" is just as good and I will buy one.
I need a bigger better plasma at this time in the shop. Any discount is better than anything. I do notice here locally about a 100-200 difference between welding supply houses in the same items. they cant compete with teach other because of qauntity being sold. Anyhow a tax break would help too This is exciting news none the less Rusty
It always comes down to money. As a hobbiest it would be great to have something like this but it is hard to justify if the price is high. But it is on my wish list.
Welcome Frank! (Do you have a hotrod by chance?) Guys, check this out: (Quote from Frank) "That being the case, if our 30 Amp machine (designed exclusively for Street Rod applications) has a street price of around $1,200, what kind of discount are we talkin' here to motivate you? $50? $100? $200?" (Quote from Cyberweld.com) http://store.cyberweld.com/milplascut.html Miller Plasma Cutter - Spectrum 375 X-TREME Mfg Industrial Price: $1,495.00 Cyberweld Price: $1,157.50 FREE standard ground shipping within contiguous U.S. on every item. After looking at this, I dont think that cyberweld is the one to beat. Their best price is $1157.50 with free ground shipping. Frank has already offered $200 off, making it $1000. If they can throw in free ground shipping, that would be a smokin deal, right? Sounds good to me, and thanks to Frank, Miller and Ryan! Looking forward to updates
Price, Price, Price ! I have a Miller mig and love it. I bucked up to buy a Miller because when I buy a tool it's a long term investment for me. I've been wanting to buy a plasma but there's always something I need worse. A heavy discount would make me drop the cash on one like a hot deal at a swap meet. I'm sure there are a ton of people out there like me. Make the price attractive enough and a bunch of them will be purchased. A modest discount won't do anything. Not looking for a freebie, but won't buy one unless it's too good to turn down. Hope it works out.....
overall discounts, specials on gear specific to ONLY Alliance members (ie: new product not released to public)... Save money, free shipping.
Hey Ryan- Im an alliance vendor and use ALL Miller products- found in my shop they are just second to non for welders and plasma cutters. When I ran into the booth last year , spoke with some great guys who knew what they were talking about (and not just trying to sell me stuff) and backed up anything they did sell me. Great customer service & a great product is why I have stayed with Miller...Its not always about the price- its about the quality too.
i doubt that they will be able to come close to this price, will they? i know shipping is extra but under a grand shipped to your house. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=017&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=270166000467&rd=1
deep discount, and a quality product that Miller is going to stand behind. shipping free or discounted as well, and yea... im with rashy here, boxers now, i KNOW im going to get fuckin hammered for this next one, but here goes anyhow... i dont give two wet farts where the hell the thing is made, so long as its made well. make it at the south pole for all i care...
Sorry, I just got in on this thread, but a plasma cutter is the final piece that I really need for my shop. I would definitely be interested in a group purchase, at a discounted price (see:cheeep).
I allready have a lincoln so a discount on the actual Plasma would not do me much good. If I could use any Accesories or even a discount on tips(assuming the would work) would work for me.
I am thinking of buying one soon---they have a promo going on right now in Rod & Custom that runs through November ?? So if they can do better than that Promo...I'll buy one! RYAN-- Great job working with Miller and for all you do to get future Alliance Vendors.
Price always! Miller Quality is a great selling point. Shipping is a hang up sometimes Regional Distributor, pick it up locally yourself? at a Car Show event? Toss that around
Yeah, I'm curious too. My 110volt MIG is dead for sure, so I'm ready to buy. Not looking for a handout, just a good deal on a fine AMERICAN welder, 220 volts.
I'll sign up to be a alliance member to day if I can buy a plasma cutter at a discount tomorrow (or more like monday)
