Charge for TT setup?

I'm upgrading my TT and am looking at a VPI Classic 3 which retails for 6K. The dealer wants another $100 to take the cartridge off the old table and put it on the new one.
I'm thinking at 6K set-up should be included but I'm not very knowledgeable. Is this a standard practice? Or is it free only if I also buy a cartridge from him?
Thanks

Tell the dealer you think you found one for 5700.00 then wait and see if they still want the sale.

These days a customer willing to pay 6k for a TT should have his ass KICKED, or at least have set up charges dropped. Walk away, you can always walk back. If the dealer is in a hurry, tell him to be patient...or become one. Best of luck, and I hope you get the TT that you like.
