Just thought I'd pass on something that I've just learned about. We've been
looking at purchasing some used, or more politically correct I suppose,
"pre-owned" pick and place equipment.

Have found out that there are OEM's of these machines out there, that are
buying as many of the used machines that are out in the open market as they
can, to prevent them from being sold to the general market (like us guys)
that want to buy them...just found that rather interesting...

They don't want their used machines being sold and traded, and are trying to
make sure that anybody that wants their equipment has to buy "New" from them
by taking as many of the used machines off the market as they can...I guess
that is one marketing strategy...don't really understand it, but I guess
that's why I'm not a sales guy...

Have any of you heard about this?
