Anybody looking to purchase a press at all in England?
If you private message me the budget you are looking at I am very willing to work something out on the above Workhorse package i.e sell the press seperately for example.

Hi Anthony,
I did have a look at your equipment on Ebay but it did look like it would take me a long time to get my investment back after reading this thread:Driving prices down.
Another problem is that it won't fit in my garden shed with the 16 illegal screen print opperatives already in there waiting for work!
They are currently making me quite a nice profit by using stencils, water-based ink & a washing line That is until the weather changes and I might need to look into expanding into a second shed as a drying room!
Ebay is possibly your best chance of finding a buyer!
Phil

I personally wouldn't take notice of that driving prices down thread. I see a slump in the economy as a time to take advantage of what business is out there. The bigger firms have higher overheads and rely on upon using autmated equipment to produce t-shirts quickly and cheaply in vast quantities to survive, this is why they charge so low.
However, this business model based upon large sales with small returns is a receipe for disaster when the work dries up. I have found that the majority of people want to order in smaller bulk 50-100 units and are prepared to pay a fair rate based on recommendation. You focus on your service and believe me people will patronise you over and over again. I run 3 businesses all in different sectors and I have done a worthy trade in this slump due to the fact when money is tight people dont want to buy crap; whatever the cost is.
I have been a screenprinter for numerous years now, and continue to do strong business at rates I see fit for my expertise - I am a good printer and people pay for that combined with my emphasis on old fashioned customer service.
I am selling this set-up because I am finding it difficult to find another intelliegent printer in my area to join forces with me - who shares my intense work ethic and exacting standards of quality. I will continue to be a screenprinter because the the money is excellent.
To give a rough guide I purchased a similar branded American imported set-up when I first started out and quardrupled my investment easily in the first year. I wasn't lucky either, I just appreciated potential and had the forsight to go ahead, and fortunately it paid off nicely and continues to do so.
I currently have 4 people with serious interest in buying- I have taken the package off ebay to assess the best candidate to take on this business. If there are any others who want to join in on the talks please Private Message me.
