kai1836 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Due to the temp being below zero and wind chill around-20.......I don't have much I am burning to do this morning! I figured I'd throw some numbers around and see how I'm doing. I have stumbled across another deal and have figured that taking this deal will bring my average cost per head down to just under 15 per head. I am pretty pleased with this and would like to know what others have been laying out for their own equipment. I have figured that by minimizing my cost, especially on my equipment, it will give me a good advantage when it comes to lasting in a difficult economic environment. For new accounts I am not filling the canisters completely full.....I will usually fill slightly over half. I am finding that it reduces my upfront costs significantly. For a triple I have around 45 in the machine and usually 30 to fill and set it out. I'm just waiting for the deals where I can either maintain this cost or reduce it. I sand and re-paint any equipment I get in that doesn't look up to standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-man422 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Kai, those numbers are just about what I am at too. It sounds like we are about the same in our ideas, in that we grow slowely and are patient for the good deals. PS: I feel your pain up here in Ohio. We are at 5*F right now brrrrrrrrr.

kai1836 Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 I'll say this too, and this might put me at a disadvantage......if I see a good deal this month I'll take it. If I see 5 I'll take all 5. Thats where I might get ahead of myself..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer980 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Well $15 a head is a good number. If you can get your ROI in one month then you should buy it no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antoniocinisi Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 15$$ per head is great untill you have to sand and paint them then its just an ok deal.but hey if you have the time to do it go for it.in the end it still will be cheaper then buying brand new.
