I asked for this workbook to be included with my Quest Plus purchase, on a tip from a QB post. It's nice, glossy, thicker color pages with photos and step by step directions for which foot, soleplate, and settings to use for different techniques. But it's loose pages in a 3 ring binder, and the holes are already tearing, which careful handling. If it were properly bound, ideally to lay flat, then $20-30 would be fair. But $80?! Come ON! It's mark up, so they can say you got it for an amazing discount or that they gave you $xxx of "free" items with your purchase. Honestly, I'd prefer more straightforward pricing with maybe seasonal special offers or discounts for multiple purchases (like machine and serger or cabinet). How about prices and offer details posted? So everyone in a dealership gets the same deal on a given day. I've read $1000 to $1800 paid for the Quest Plus within a 12 mo period. Regional differences in cost of living don't vary THAT much. How can I trust my dealer, when the price of the machine depends on who they are selling it to, just basically the most they can get you to pay? And someone who bargains harder or knows the right info or person pays less than someone who is shy or whatever.
