I hear they use solid gold bars to produce that paint. Couple that to the fact oil prices are so high (paint being a petroleum product and all), and you instantly discover why this unit costs so much. The reason is that Miller is counting on their dedicated supporters to overlook the machine's pitfalls and price, and instead focus on it's "innovative features and technology." That logic hasn't failed them in the past, has it?

Good point! Though actual stickers aren't involved, stenciling the letters M-I-L-L-E-R over paint that is produced from solid gold and oil is a tricky process, and would be yet another reason for them asking such high prices for this (and all other) units. Again, it's the petroleum that is driving up the cost of their products. It's not Millers fault their machines are so expensive! Miller is your friend, a company who only wants the best for you, a company who is on your side...with both hands out.

Did you really believe they were in the business of using their loyal customers to profit heavily? Me too.
