That is a great price. I would buy that for sure. If it is too big of a press for what your doing or your space (I believe all those are 220v, so you may need a plug installed to use it) you could sell it for more then $600.

It has a stand with wheel on it.

If in the future they will have problems, do u normally take them to service centers or order a part unit then just DIY?:D

Yea thanks

Yes that one comes on a stand. You can order most parts from the manufacture and easily replace the parts yourself.

No problem, anytime and your welcome!
When you go pick it up, make sure before you give up the cash to turn it on, set a temperature in the 300's, and with an infrared temperature gun ($30 bucks or so at Lowes or Harbor Freight) take readings on all corners and the center areas to make sure it's heating like it should.

That's a $3,600 machine. A $600 price tag would raise red flags with me, regardless of age.

that is a large machine running 220V,
do you have an extra 220 plug for it?
if not that is going to cost you some serious bucks to run that line, assuming you have room in your breaker box

plus it pulls 21 amps, that is the equivalent of running an oven all day (or how ever long you have it on)
think about the extra electrical expense as well

heckuva machine though, press two shirts at once
bring a friend to load it!

I was trying to think of the benefits of a press that size. Too big to thread smaller garments; too small for all over printing. But you nailed it - cut your pressing time in half.
Buying a used machine can really be a risky endeavor to say the least. No matter what you have been told by the seller, you really have no clue of what you are getting into. There are so many factors at work that could make it the worst purchase you have ever made. The first thing to understand is you have no warranty and no technical support. If you want to have any success with any machine you really need a good support and training program. For the first few months it is vital to have someone you can call to help you move forward and become successful.
