Hi, Just wanted some opinions. I am planning on buying the following equipment this afternoon but I'm worried that I am jumping in too fast for too much. What do you all think? Is this a good price for the equipment listed? What else will I need to buy to start my t-shirt business? Thank you so much, in advance, for your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions!

$3300 (thinking about offering $3000)

• Blue Max stationery press - 4 color/4stations
• Table top press - 4 colors/1 station
• 2 heater presses- both working condition - I believe maximum is 22"
• Flash Dryer
• Black Light Xpo (Brown manufacturing) exposure unit
• Lots of ink
• some chemicals, screens, squigees,
• film papers for inkjet and laser
• Epson C86 printer
• spray gun for ink cleanup
• some shirts
• all catalogs to help you get started
• heat transfer paper
• mug factory press (need sublimination ink to get this going)

Is it the one from craigslist? Get all the specs form the heat presses. you would still need a flash unit. offer them $2000 at most

I agree with mrvixx - that listing seems sketchy on some details, and high on price.

Although there it's missing a lot of detail such as quantity of transfers, inks etc, the price of $3000 for the package doesn't seem too bad. But that all depends on the details. Does the press have micros?

Thank you for breaking it all down. I did end up getting it for the $3000. We had to use a U-haul 14 foot truck to get it all! Thanks again!!!

You Had the Opportunity, and You Took Action.

People also say, "Luck is for Fools."

Within your post are the words of someone who is no fool.

Great Job on Founding Your New Business. I'm pulling for you!
