Are you getting any extras for the asking cost such as youth or over sized platens? Most I've seen are going for about $3000.00.

If you do buy it and print can koozies get their 4 place can koozie platen.
It's worth every dime.

THANKS EVERYBODY FOR YOUR RESPONSES!
i acutually bought the machine already it came with the press, kids platen, sleeve platen, acouple gallons of ink. misc. items, about 10 screens, a table top exposure unit from rayonet, and an 18x18 flash dryer.. paid $4000. the press looks brand new. but after reading some your post on here i feel like i over paid?! what do you guys think? this guys was local to and literally live less than 5 mins from my house. that played a huge part in me buying it.

So just a RH 6/4, fluorescent exposure and a flash with a few extras...?
If you already spent the dough, you really shouldn't be asking anymore.

However, $4000 can go a lot further in most cases...
especially right now with so much good stuff on the market and only a few serious buyers.

You still need to get a conveyor dryer, too.

Hate to be a downer.

You can't put a price on being able to see used equipment before you buy it. I have bought and sold my fair share of used equipment and a little buyers remorse always sneaks in. It sounds like you got a pretty good deal. Just remember you are way ahead of where you would be if you had paid for new.

i got the vastex hd2000 6-4 press.

, i am having buyers remorse lol. i've been looking at the vastex for the past 2 months and no one locally has that machine forsale. So when i found it i thought about it for a hard month and finally decided to take a plunge. The press looks brand new aside from the pallets bein a little stained. This guy i bought it from had his set up in his garage and he never did commerical work thats why it so clean. I researched a but b4 and i would of spent $5400+ for the press, tax, and shipping. so i think i got a good deal
