Hi,
I am going to buy a Skutt GM814 18" kiln, and my question is, who should I buy it from? I am seeing prices ranging from $810 to $940. Cline Glass has it at $810, Georgies at $914, crloo.com at about $940, allstainedglass.com at $890. That's the price without furniture included.
Any recommendations/warnings? General principles for selecting a dealer?
Thanks!
David

You live minutes from Centre DeVerre. Save the shipping and get it there. No sales tax either, if I recall correctly.

Don is right it is a no brainer. Go see Marty up in Allenstown. People shop there from all over the globe and you are minutes away. he is also a distributor for Bullseye and CBS as well as several kiln companies. He is also well known for excellent customer service.

I got my Skutt 814 from Marty at CDV a year ago. He was great to work with, as has been Skutt, by the way.

Give Marty a ring at cdvkilns.com. He helped me order a custom Jen Ken and will spend a lot of time with you to also help identify the best kiln for your application and environment. He even managed to talk me out of a more expensive Genesis kiln which I had my heart set on, so I would guess he is truly in it for the love and not the money.
