Dampp-Chaser sold on the internet (cheap)!

[Clyde Allen]

I recently received a call from a prospective customer
who claimed he could buy a Dampp-Chaser humidistat for
$77 and a dehumidifying rod for $48 on the internet. A
complete systen for a vertical piano is $270 and for a
grand is $326. He sent me the link. When I followed
the link and clicked on item #14 I found he was
telling the truth. He realizes that to install it
himself will void the warranty. Nevertheless he wants
to compare my price for buying the parts (and
installing) with the price he can get the parts for
online and have me install. My first reaction which I
did not voice is that if he buys the parts I will not
touch it. What do you think? How would you handle this
situation?

Dampp Chaser® Humidistat for Dehumidifier

This is a Genuine Dampp-Chaser® Humidistat. Just plug
your Dampp Chaser dehumidifier into the humidistat and
it will automatically turn it on and off for you.
It's a great asset for every size of dehumidifier rod,
however, the manufacturer requires that it must be
used with all 48" dehumidifiers greater than 15 watts.
