That is not always the case, sometimes I can get machines from 3rd party distributors cheaper and quicker than through Kyocera. They buy in bulk and pass on the savings, sometimes beating Kyocera/Copystar out by hundreds. Do your research and check the fliers, if you're a salesman and you boss is saying this, that's because he must sell them from the manufacturer to make his quota and keep his dealership. As a small non dealership independent myself, I can buy from whoever I want, but I don't have the ability to order from them either. By streamlining with only certain models so that I have parts machines, buying on ebay, buying from 3rd party sites, I can get most anything, but I'm also good friends with the authorized dealership in town. We used to work together decades ago working ourselves up the ladder. So, I can get any part I want without the pressure of a quota and the ability to order a machine from wherever it's cheapest. The point I'm making is there are ways, you just have to be creative.

I don't think any distributor is going to have that many in stock and is probably going to want payment before their ordered. If it were me I would partner with a dealer in your area with the understanding in writing they will not go after the service. You might have to settle for much less profit but the service revenue alone is worth it by itself.
Can you handle the delivery, setup and networking on your own? I am a one man operation but have relationships with other dealers near me, so I would never attempt this on my own. A deal this big would put me out of business if something were to go sideways.
I think I can handle this deal should it come to fruition. I have help.
As far as working with the local Kyocera dealer...that's gonna be a no-go. I have competed with them on too many deals and they're not looking give me any help under any circumstances. I don't blame 'em.
It's gonna be several months before this deal gets done by anyone. I'm still kicking it around.
