They're going to have to start putting more money in the collection plate on Sundays!

So my coworker got a funny call today. A church leases some equipment from us and has a quarterly payment that's around $300 or so. We require that the customer's insurance cover any event that renders the machine useless, such as a fire, flood, someone driving into your front window, etc. (Yeah, that's another story--that happened last month; the car hit the equipment and cracked it in half.) If the customer wants, we will eat the cost of replacement if they carry a replacement plan in lieu of their insurance. It usually runs them between $15 and $30 a quarter: very reasonable.
Well, this church got charged almost $5,000 for the replacement plan for this quarter. It took me a few seconds to see what was wrong; I see large amounts like that every other day. I just had to realize which line item it was. I don't even know how that happened! Mis-key? Yeah, they shouldn't pay that.

Update: just found another one that's over 8 times as much.

I'm guessing the one that's 8 times as much was for a Limited Collector's Edition Machine Plated with 24K Gold?

Not necessarily. When I was working installing Suspended Ceilings back in New Zealand, I had to be very careful around some equipment that had been pre-installed at places like supermarkets, cafeterias and the like - some of the equipment ran into the hundreds-of-thousands, if not MILLIONS of dollars (such as a very expensive MRI scanner on one job at a medical centre that was valued at a little under $900,000. THAT job was interesting.)

I don't think we have anything that runs in the millions. Some associated costs are around $60,000 a month. I can't say what that's for without revealing my company but I will say this: one NFL team in particular has a lot of money to throw at a certain gov't. agency.
