Discounted Roasters at SCAA or Coffee Fest Shows?

[CanyonCoffee]

I am in the process of starting a small Roaster Retailer business, and I need to purchase a roaster. I have heard of roasters being purchased at a discount at the SCAA show. If this is true what type of discount can I expect? Is it ok to ask the company reps about this ahead of the show?

Any info will help,

Thanks,
