You would be amazed at the number of machinery enquiries over the telephone that run along these kind of lines –

Customer “Hello, I’m looking for a secondhand or reconditioned finisher, not a new one.”

Us “Sure, but why do you say, ‘not a new one’.”
Customer “Nooooo!  They’re too expensive.”
Us “A new Model 710, built to your requirements can cost just under £9000.00.”
There is usually a moment’s silence.  And then –
Customer “Really?  I’d heard they were much more than that….”

Which is curious.

Where have people heard about the prices of our finishers other than from us?  Sometimes we’re told that they’d spoken to us or ‘one of the other suppliers’ and been quoted upwards of £15000.00 or £16000.00 for a basic finisher.

Which is also curious.

As we are the only people who manufacture new British-built finishers, who else apart from Standard Engineering is quoting prices for our machines?  And at such enormously inflated prices too?  Perhaps customers are speaking to the wrong people, or being quoted in the wrong currency!

Or perhaps prospective purchasers of finishing machinery just assume the cost is likely to be astronomical because our machinery is so well put together!

Either way, if you are it really does pay to speak to us before jumping to pricing conclusions on our machinery range.
