Hi,

I might buy a used HT-600 Hix heat press. I saw the owner use it so I know it works. Whats a good price (or price range) for this particular heat press.

Check BestBlanks, one of the preferred vendors on the forum. They are one of the few that offer Hix presses.

How old is the machine? How much has it been used?

But by no means the only one.

To NYYfan85- I used my first HIX in 1981 and know a bit about them.

To help establish age and use- what color is the press - is it a 400, 400B, 400D or 400P - is the upper platen heavily stained - does everything light up or heat up like it is suppose to

HIX presses are remarkable robust so I wouldn't be overly concerned about age and use except in establishing fair market value.

Oops! I just noticed you did write 600, not 400 (I had just finished a long talk on the phone about the 400P and guess I had that number on the brain).

The Blue 600 has to be at least six years old. My rule of thumb is to deduct 20% of new cost for each year of age, down to a 20% (of new) bottom.

Assuming good mechanical function, I would make an offer of $200 and go no higher than 240-250.

If there are a lot of stains on the heating platen, you will need a Teflon sheet. Some take the bottom Teflon pad (which fits like a fitted sheet) and put it on the top.
