Re: PURCHASING RENTED EQUIPMENT

  Just wondering how others members feel about this? 

  I have checked out a few of the rental fees, and they seem to be 15% of the purchase price.  I know WGT is about making money, but I feel that if the equipment is subsequently purchased during the rental period a fair allowance of the rental fee should be refunded towards the purchase price of the equipment.  50% of the fee would seem like a fair deal.  I don't think WGT would go broke by losing that 7.5% on the deal.  It's not like they have any time or energy spent on the transaction. 

  C'mon WGT management, let's hear your view on this subject.

  I have wondered the same thing. I have rented everything I have bought before I bought it.

  I have to agree, but actually I would like it to be that if you choose to purchase it before the rental is over receive 10% off or somthing like that. They still make a little bonus and gives insentive to rent product. Really is a win/win situation. Great suggestion!
