[edit] Purchasing a Laser

[edit] Pricing

The price could be anywhere from $10,000 - $30,000 depending on what model we go for and whether it is new or used. Here is a decent overview of the Epilog lasers: http://wiki.nycresistor.com/wiki/Purchasing_A_Laser

[edit] Kickstarter

The current proposal is to use http://www.kickstarter.com/ to fund the purchase. To do this, we will have to create a small writeup and submit an application because Kickstarter is in limited beta right now. http://www.kickstarter.com/profile/proposals/new

[edit] Where to Buy

Airway Laser Systems is a Epilog distributor in Ohio: http://www.epiloglaser.com/airway_laser.htm
