Can anyone make suggestions on how to reach potential customers for
buying our two Symmetries?
We've posted the ad below, but apparently we aren't reaching the
appropriate market. The only offers we've received are from
universities which would be happy to accept our machines as donations.
Our machines represent a great way to get in the Symmetry "door"
cheaply. Someone out there should jump at the chance to get a
Symmetry or two for far under the market price for a new one. (We
don't know what the machines are worth, but we intend to sell them for
their "market value", whatever that is. We hope it's $100K for the
pair.)
We've contacted two leasing companies, neither of which is interested.
We've contacted one reseller, who failed to return several phone
calls. Sequent is not being as helpful as they were in my dreams.
