    What is regular price for a Shoptask Patriot?

    Shoptask is advertising the Patriot for $3495. Their website says there are 4 left at this price. Does anyone know what the regular, non-sale price is?

    Thank you,

    Gridley

    The price on mine was 3695.00 for pre-paying. This is my 3rd machine- my outfit had a CNC Bridgemill overseas, and when I rotated home, I bought a used Quadra Lift. The quadra lift earned me enough to move up to the patriot. I considered going to seperates this last time around, but space and portability are still big issues for me- never know when the call up will come. Also, I decided to go with CNC on my machine, and the Patriot gives me both mill and lathe under control for 1 investment.

    I doesn't matter no one is going to spend that much extra money for a paint job. The older ones are selling for penny's on the dollar and still don't sell. John wont honor his warranty anyway so why waste the money. I took a look at his recent ad and that is the same one he used several years ago. Last year he used the damaged in shipment gimmick to get people to buy a machine. The price didn't drop this time it's the same as always. He is trying to move machines and can't lower the price. He is on his way out if this recession keeps going. Then your machine might be worth something. The prices of machines will climb due to no one producing them. The quality is always the issue with these machines and always will be.

    Patriot Pricing

    The $3495.00 pricing would be current pricing for Q1 or Q2 of 2008. Since then Shoptask had a $200 & a $100 price increase. I think cash price right now would be $3595.
    The main point right now would be that he has inventory, I waited 4 months for mine, which was short compare to others who waited up to a year. So if your sold on Shoptask right now would be a good time to purchase.
