hey everyone, new here. im looking at getting into the t-shirt business, and an inexpensive way in. I was looking on ebay and saw one listed with a 15 x 15 commercial industrial press, 92 transfer sheets for lights and darks, and an epson c120 printer. how much do you all think that would go for? what should be my maximum bid? it looks like a good way to get into the business?

thoughts? and thanks!

I sent the auction lister a question, specifically asking for "Brand name and Model Number" and all I got back was that it was "It's a 15" x 15" Digital Sublimation Heat Press T-Shirt Press. Thanks for looking."

Doesn't make me feel all warm and fuzzy.

I suggest staying away from the ebay type press' . I advise to buy equipmentfrom a vendor that has experience with what works. The forum has some preferered vendors who give discounts to members. If you plan to use equipment to make money you want to have support if needed. I'm sure you won't get much support from a Ebay seller. I think it's worth paying extra to have sevice after the sale. .... JB

I checked out the listing. He seems to know his products, as far as paper and ink. When going through his feedback, he recently bought a heat press. No way to know if it is the one he's selling unless he says it's new.

BUT he also just recently bought a C120. Look at the price he paid, wow, I didn't realize the newer model could be had so cheap on Ebay.

(I just checked and the c120's are on there cheap, some cheaper than this.)

Whatever he is doing, he is up to something, not necessarily bad either. He may be just buying supplies cheaply, and bundling them as a package for profit sake. On the other hand, he may be rebuying stuff to replace his faulty stuff, and selling his used off in a auction. Toss a coin.

If he doesn't say the stuff is brand new, then he must be keeping the brand new stuff, and selling something he already had there. Look in his feedback and you'll see what he purchased along with more info on a press he recently purchased. Like I said, can't tell if it's what he has listed in the auction, but it could be. The description is rather vague in the listing he bought it in.

I had the exact same press he is selling. Mine lasted for well over a year and pooped itself a couple weeks ago. I went and bought a mightypress 16x20 and I can tell you there is no comparison between the two.

The pres listed does NOT have a floating upper platen, with that being said, mine did make me ALOT of $$$$ for the time I had it. But I will never buy another one now that I have used my mightypress.
