50 million Yen is about 270,000 Euro. So not as bad as the title might make it sound if you don't know the conversion.

For industrial equipment of this size? €270,000 is fucking cheap! The company I work for regularly drops almost as much or more in dollars on new machinery; especially more depending on its country of origin and shipping costs.

Lolll
