I did a little searching by Google and the only pricing info I found was a
posting by someone on a (non-PlasmaCAM) forum somewhere. He said they're
'about $10,000'. May, or may not, be accurate. I found NO independent
reviews of the thing at all! Not one! Maybe someone else has?

One fellow on a forum said they're not nearly as robust as they appear
in the purty pictures on the PlasmaCAM site, for what that's worth.

The fact there's no pricing info on their site is a red flag, to me. I
like companies who are up-front with such things. If they're not, they're
usually hiding something, in my experience. In this case, I'll bet it's
the lack of value for $$ spent. Something you're not supposed to realize
until after the dotted-line has been signed and the thing is in your
possession.

One's supposed to watch their video and send them 10-large (or whatever).
Basically sight unseen. They discourage contact with present owners,
provide no references at all, and you -can't- actually see and touch
the machine at the 'factory' before purchase. Gee, I wonder why?? :)

They're clever marketers tho, I'll give them that. The whole thing
is so slick, and sleazy-feeling, it really turns me off. I wouldn't
send them 10-cents.
