Coin laundry association

These people operate as cla.com / cla.org and planetlaundry.com Be carefull. They act like the voice of new and current laundromat owners. Its a sham. They are funded by the manufacturers. They wont let us discuss or ask others owners of what price they paid on equipment on the coin laundry forum. Why?
For a few washers i thought i got best price. I paid 30k for 5 of 40lb washers. Later i found real retail is 20k + tax etc or less!!!
All the major manufacturers are hand in glove and do price fixing.
They are alliance laundry systems
