used DTG Kiosk 3 what would be a fair price?

Hi!

I am considering purchasing a second hand DTG Kiosk 3, 3 year old. in pretty good shape. What should be a fair price for such a machine. It is currently for sale at 6000.00

What is your opinion?

Yours,

Marc

Your there at £6k

Way overpriced IMO. Does that price include the RIP? Still overpriced if it does.

Basically No warranty and it is not a state-of-the-art machine. Maybe a good deal at $3K with all new disposable parts (print head, ribbon cables, encoder strip, capping station, wiper, spare main board, spare disposable parts)

I've seen quite a few in that range recently. Been tempted to look into one at that price.

I have a K2 for the last 6 years and know it inside and out. I stand by what I said. They are not money makers and not worth more than a few grand, if that.

Marc, i would save yourself the hassle and not buy a K3, if you research the printer and also the company that will be supporting you YES Ltd you will understand what i mean. I owned one brand new so am talking from personal experience.

I wouldn't expect a 50% return on a used DTG brand printer. They just are not worth it. The parts are getting harder to find and are more expensive. Our K2 printheads have gone from $220 to over $500 AND I have to take it in to have it replaced so I have to pay for that as well.

For the price of a DTG (any brand) printer you can get a pretty nice screen print setup and make a lot more money with far less hassle.

I give up Binki your just not living in the real world! , spend £12k and after 2-3 yrs get less than half 5/6k?? Ridiculous we might as well all take up gardening ,the K2 is a lot older than the K3 and had major problems from the start the K3 is a much more reliable purchase if its looked after properly and parts are readily available inc the superior Dx5 heads

Kiosk 3 still has all parts aaible apart the ink resetter ut that can be bypassed.

thanks all for your opinions. I will try to negotiate it more around 5K and see if I get it!

It's a shame your not in the UK Marc the one we have for sale is virtually brand new and would let it go for £6k had offers of £5k but because its never been used much we wont take less than the going rate
