So I'm looking to buy my first vinyl cutter and I came across an offer for a used Graphtec CE5000-60 for $500. The owner says that the cutter is in great condition and that he bought it used last year for $1100 (but that he barely used the cutter because he's been too busy).
To me, this deal sounds a little too good to be true. How would you suggest I move forward? Would it be appropriate for me to ask for the serial number? If I meet up with him to inspect the cutter are there specific things I should be looking for? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
