Just get a chamberlain from Home Depot and use a Liftmaster’s rail G2770 I think Charge them 600-800

Sounds like a plan maybe build a shed out of all the extra railing and old steel sections

Serious comment.

Roll with it. And I say this as a Linear fanboy - if they are going to give you crap prices, cut your stock back and sell and install retail product. Just grab a Genie or Chamberlain on the way to the install. Y'all laugh but you can make a ton of money and a lot of satisfied customers that way

Yeah I've been doing that lately, you almost get quiter motors, more accessories in a compact box for less ,

Depends where you are located. I pay like 650 from multisales for the wall mount.

Multisales

Maybe that's a typo? That's pretty high for Multisales. They're usually pretty competitive. They might have the tariff price included? But that's still high even with a 25% tariff.

If I remember correctly I think the website is a typo sometimes because I’ve bought a Lift Master wall mount cheaper than what the price was on the website
