Is the attached machine in working condition worth $3k assuming it is fully functional? Worth having a tech look at it first and if so how much does that usually run?
-
Do you mean 3 thousand or 30 thousand? 3 thousand-Heck yea, If it's working. Calling in a tech would probably be around $600-$1000. depending on who you call and how much time they spend. If it's in the Austin area and you decide not to get it let me know who has it.
-
$3K has to be a mistake.
-
Ill take 20 of those at $3k if they are in working order. Thanks.
-
IF THERE IS ANY LEFT AFTER BRANDT, I'LL TAKE 5.
-
me 3rd!
-
Not a mistake, just a great deal it sounds like! Any tips on moving this thing? Looks like it has casters, so ramp and trailer and tie-downs sound good?
-
you can roll them into a trailer pretty easily. The casters are fine for smooth concrete like warehouses, but not really for parking lots or driveways. you are better off with a pallet jack on each end.
I would look into a rigging company. ours was $800 to bring a 6-head machine into the building...no loading dock on our end either.
-
cool. I'll look into it.
Can anyone suggest a tech close to Austin?
-
There's a certified Barudan tech in Louisiana outside of Lafayette. I'll PM you his info. He is in Texas once a week.

If you want, and its in fully working order I will give you 5k for it. So you can make 2k for basically doing nothing.
-
Haha, tempting. We'll see how it goes... been wanting to be able to do embroidery hat jobs in house for a while and this seems like the best opportunity to do that.
-
That low of a price would make me a bit weery so definitely get a tech if your not to familiar with smb machines yourself. Did they happen to mention why a late generation 4 head barman is selling so cheap? Damn we bought 2 new 8 heads from barman this year I would have loved to seen a deal like this earlier.
-
Sounds like someone has a drug problem
-
Has to have something wrong with it or its a scam. Even the old boat anchor 4 and six heads still get that when they come up if they are still working.
-
I'll trade you a 12 head barudan for that 4 head LOL
-
I'll feel it out, but I think the guy is on the up and up. We'll see!
-
Might want to check if it is currently under lease.
-
Will do.
What can be wrong/broken with these that could make it not worth buying, just out of curiosity?
-
Get the serial number and call Barudan. They will tell you the year, if its under lease, and what to look out for. You need to know the availability of parts. If the parts are not available that would explain the low cost that this guy is asking. Its only worth the price of scrap if you cant buy parts. Get a stitch count on it too. If its super high you may be inheriting big trouble.
-
Awesome. Thanks! What would be considered a high Stitch count?
-
Is there a way to do like a test stitch out? Kind of like how a vinyl cutter can do a test cut?
