Question need to sell an almost-new FlexiJet: ideas?

My company bought a super-nice Flexi Jet DTG t-shirt printer for a project that I inherited, but am now second-guessing. I want to be able to give my boss a quote for how much we could sell the printer for instead of going through a long process of beginning to use it. Does anyone have any ideas for how to sell this huge thing? Please, please help!!! Thanks so much!

Craigslist, ebay, local classifieds, check with flexijet distributors.

This forum has a really nice classified section. inkjetgarmentprinters.com has a classsified section. dtginks.com has a classified section. Yahoo offers a free classified section.

I am also a Flexi-jet owner. Are you sure you wouldn't want some help learning to use it? It's really fun in my opinion. I would be glad to offer you any assistance I can. You are welcome to pm me.

The most recent Flexi-jet long model I saw listed for sale was only listed for $8,000-and has not sold yet. I am not sure whether that represents a going rate or not- but 1/2 of retail may be a fairly close estimate.

If you sell and ship special care needs to be taken to ship a printer this size. Easiest would be to offer it for sale only with personal pick up.

Mistewoods has it just right. If you sell it, make sure it is for local pickup only and document your process all the way through with pictures.
- If you can get a video clip of the machine running, do so.
- Make sure to list everything that will be selling with it, preferably with pictures.
- Make sure to say it is as-is in any advertising you do.
- Be ready to show it to a lot of people, if you want to get your best money from it.
- Mistewoods has the pricing in the right neighborhood, as well, but figure out what you need to get out of it as a minimum, and don't sell it for less than that, then list what you think you can get out of it and use that as a starting point.
- If you don't like a deal, cancel it.
- Don't let the buyer change things on you, there are a lot of folks who do that sort of thing. (None from here though, I'm quite sure. )
- The classifieds here are a great place to start, but make sure to read the rules.

Do yourself a favor and look at how much profit you would make in the next year, assuming things go as they have been; if that amount is less than you think you would earn by selling, then you probably shouldn't sell.
This does not account for opportunity costs or overhead, or repairs, or other potential expenses, just gives you a simple idea and comparison of your options.

Have fun!
