Re: Email from Canon P4P'er "Ricoh Direct Pricing"
Hey, I agree, but when you see that type of pricing without competition, what is everyone to think??? I've seen new wide format fully loaded at 8K, and MP C5000's that were reselling at 2% above dmap 6. If I may be so bold, I truly believe that the head honchos have no clue what's going on in the street, plus even if they did they have no way of stopping it. They need the boxes placed in order to keep the factories running, more boxes placed equals more supply clicks. They just don't care,...

One thing to note - Sharp’s Information Equipment group, which includes MFPs, is one of its only consistently profitable divisions. Not forever - but at least for now.
