Title: Scotch Thermal Laminator
Post by: bbmike on November 24, 2016, 12:48:39 PM
Best price I've seen to date on this Scotch laminator, $9.98 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZI7MI96/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_27?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER)!! I guess I'll laminate some cards after all.  ^-^

Funny, the laminating sheets that I ordered with it cost more than the device.  :))

I ordered the 50 pack, which was $6.95 I think. Seemed like enough to get me started.

Pretty tough to resist being able to laminate 50 player aid cards and charts for less than $20!

They must use the console game marketing method.

Mark down the base machine, even under manufacturing cost, to get people to purchase it over your competitors' offerings.   Then make your losses back over time by charging high prices on the specific accessories it requires for use.  Profit.    ^-^
