As a business owner I would like to say I see trying to negotiate the $1000 difference in price, but it is not fair to ask him to lower his price by the $600 which is sales tax. He is obligated by the state to collect sales tax on the transaction, so if you want to save that $600 you will be driving out of state for your machine purchase.
