The End of Agfa Photo

I see. Thanks for pointing that out to me. Say, you wouldn't happen
to know how to move this post in to another heading would you?

Hey Greg,

Why don't you attempt to comment on the actual content of the topic
rather then feel the need to point out petty things such as typos. (I
can get a free program to replace you and it would know when to
properly use a comma)

Besides, I started this for other D-lab owners to explain their
thoughts through this process.

I have no idea what your talking about, but:

What I stated had nothing to do with spelling, I was referring to
the quotation of Don without any comment above or below
by another poster- Code named "Cherry".

As for my to date unspoken thoughts regarding your Plight you probably
won't want to hear them, because thus far you have not agreed with
anyone but those who completely agree with your view point-(both you and
Don). This runs counter to the original thread, which btw you and Don
hijacked, to discuss a personal aspect of D-lab ownership.

Quite truthfully your off topic and posting a business concerns which
probably should not be addressed on an open public forum.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President,

I am not a lawyer, but I will put in my two cents anyway.

One potential problem with not making payments on your service contract
is that Agfa (in its weakened state) is not necessarily the one who
will enforce the contract. This is probably under the bankruptcy court,
and as I understand it these courts are generally are pretty strict
about making sure the bankrupt party receives any money that is owed to
it. You will therefore likely be dealing not with Agfa, but with the
court, and the court has real power.

Why not try this strategy? Put in a few service calls. If they don't
respond in a timely way then send them a letter that you are cancelling
your service contract based on non-performance on Agfa's part.

I think you might be right. I'm planning on sending them a certified
letter stating my concerns. It's taking 4 days to get service, over
two weeks to get paper and chemicals therefore forcing me to switch
manufacturers causing my lab to be down a full day rebalancing not to
mention the loss in remaining extra inventory, and I'm still deeply
concerned whether or not my machines costing $9,500/ month will be
worth anything 2 months from now or even 4 years from now. I am not
making payments per month to use the machine, but rather paying off my
debt on the machine so that 1 day I will have an $80,000 or so asset on
my books. Those hopes are seemingly deminishing and I believe that
this the main reason that I can get out of my lease.

RTFM ? Greg, you're holding onto hope for humanity. You should know

My point is that likely they didn't buy out the service contracts
because they are big loosers. Know way a company could make any money
selling a service contract for a D-Lab at anywhere close to the current
price. IMO

You misunderstand. AFAIK, the vast majoruty of warranty work is done
by contractors. If a device is warranteed solely by the manufacturer
then they will need locations within a reasonable distance to provide
services and supporting staff. This is almost always
counter-productive.

Talk to a lawyer. TALK TO A LAWYER. Talk...to...a...lawyer. In case I
have not made myself plain, let me rephrase: "Talk To A Lawyer. Talk To
A Lawyer. Talk To A Lawyer." Comfort yourself all you want with
Internet banter. But grab your wallet and Talk To A Lawyer. This is Law
Stuff. It is not Run The Possibilities With Your Buddies stuff.

....and, by the way, good luck. I went through something similar about
10 years ago and my lawyer saved my bacon.

But it took a lawyer. That's my main point.
