I paid $1300 for each chair. Shipping was included. They were advertised in one of our trade magazines. Yes I do own a laundromat, in fact two of them. The chairs made sense to me but really pissed of the wife until she saw the $$$$ coming in. My attendants get a $2 allowance per shift to use the chairs after their shift. ($1=3min). I also have a mega touch, candy crane, coffee, snack, and pop. You have customers waiting for their clothes to wash or dry so you offer other services. I am currently looking for an internet kiosk. I have free wi-fi and some customers do use it but a lot have asked me if they can use my computer as they have no laptop. I see an income opportunity. Oh almost forgot, the chairs are "thebackrubber.com" and I have had to repair them. If you are mechanically inclined they are easy to fix. There is support and parts available. I just recently had an issue with the validator and the company that makes the validator has a cable to hook it up to your computer to adjust the validator. Total cost to fix $ 11 and i can always fix it in the future.
