Why Aren't Our Prices Listed?

Many customers ask us why we don’t list all our prices online. The bottom line is the value of used machines are hard to determine, therefore those numbers are valuable to us because they take time and thought to determine. Also, many competitors shop our prices to sell their own machines. In exchange for that information we ask for your contact information to create an account or your time to give us a call or send us an email.

Why didn't I receive the quote in my email?

Occasionally, the emailed quotes get flagged as spam so you many need to check your spam or trash folder. If it is not there, please give us a call and we would be happy to help.

Every machine, unless marked AS-IS, is checked out and run to make sure that all functions operate as they should. If we find issues we replace the parts or let you know what is wrong and let you make the decision. We take a video of every machine running before it leaves our facility.

We sell basic machines with no accessories, or fully tooled. All accessories or tooling that is included with the machine are in the pictures. We also sell new tooling and accessories separately.
