    Usually, the charge to buy is a one time charge . .. yes, it can be
    hefty.  My last one cost about $600.00 (second unit, electronic with
    print out for a storefront), but that was over a year ago and I've
    not paid any other service charges (Ohio Arts and Crafts Guild has a
    "deal" for members.) 

    My other unit is compact, about 6 inches wide and long, and about 1
    1/2" high, this one cost me around $300.00 (reasonable in my
    opinion) and I've been using it for more than 5 years.  I hand swipe
    the credit card, then hand key when I get to a phone line that
    doesn't cost extra.  There are other options . .. computer imput,
    and phone imput with a charge per call (about seventy five cents)
