guess what happened today! I went by my Velodyne dealer ...
I told him I was getting the DD-15 for 2,600USD. (it will take 2 months to import) everything was good to go.
as I was going home, I was suddenly having buyer's remorse ... something to the effect of "oh no, I just wasted a crap load of money ... for what?!"
lo and behold, a few hours later ... the dealer called to say that their last price was 2,646USD. 46 DOLLARS! I told him, if it was 2,600 it was still sold (word of honor), for 46 dollars, I will think about it.
now, I didn't run this by the wife til AFTER the dealer called me again.
I told her I was having second thoughts about buying something that expensive. guess what she said!
"If you can afford the DD-15 ... I will front whatever the price difference is to the DD-18 and you should get the DD-18"
hmmm.
