Sad Amount of Dealer adds

alstoncorp · December 7th, 2015, 12:00 PM

Does anyone else have a problem, no longer getting a good deal on used equipment because the "dealers" are snatching them up and wiping the dust off and reselling them for thousands more. There should be a separate thread for Dealer and one for Owners.

It is getting pretty ridiculous. If they refurbished them with a warranty it might be different.

The other problem is they charge a fee in order to post on here. I have bought and sold a TON of screen printing and embroidery equipment but all on craigslist because it is free to post ads on their site. Even ebay doesn't hit you with a fee until you sell the item. I consider this basically just a dealer site. Seems even the regular people are asking close to new retail prices on used equipment. I saw some used embroidery hoops on here the other day going for more than I could get them for new, only a few bucks more but really... They could improve this site considerably if they lifted the membership fee, IMO. They would get more clicks on their ads=more money.

I currently have a used 2005 SWF single head, 15 needle embroidery machine if anyone is interested. Great working condition. Just closing our business.

I am a dealer in used equipment and also sell parts and service machinery,and yes I aim to get machines at a fair price in order to keep my business alive, I have no idea why there is an issue with that, no different than car dealers ,only they get to buy there used cars from auction at drastically reduced prices and mark them up considerably , I give a warranty in as best a way I can. But sometimes it is almost impossible to warranty a machine that has shipped 3000 miles, in saying that I never had an issue with my machines as I always go through them thoroughly before I send them , and convert them to USB readers. if there is a particular machine you are looking for or parts, or hoops or advice don't feel bad calling me as one thing I pride myself on is I do not charge for advice even if it's on a piece of machinery I don't have for sale.

I don't have a problem with dealers and their ads. Just the ones that spam the threads with nearly their entire inventory. I suggest putting all their inventory into a list with pricing and keep it in all in one thread.
