Title: Is This Anyones Shop ??
Post by: Mojo on May 27, 2015, 02:08:57 pm
Just wondering if this belongs to one of our members here. Located in the Tampa Bay area. Looks like someone is retiring or getting out of the business.

Machinery, tools and materials only. No Real estate.

Here is the listing:  [urlhttp://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/bfs/5021361768.html][/url]

Not me but I wrote to the owner asking what machines he might have. He did say he wanted to sell the whole thing but I tried. Never heard back from him.

Why would someone sell more than $30,000 in equipment, plus what ever the value of the business is, for only $18,000?

It seems like he would be better off selling the equipment.

I also wonder if he/she is the owner selling, or a broker that got in the door?

I do wish them well on the sale.

No idea gene but I am waiting for Dennis to sign on and give his opinion. he has more experience with this stuff then most of us as he has bought out competitors and other stitchers in the past.

Dennis has always had a good handle on prices for used equipment because he bought and sold alot of
these things. I bought my press from Dennis who bought it off someone else that was going out of business.

So what do you think Doc ?
