Tajima 6 Head & 8 Head Machines 9/28
« on: September 28, 2017, 02:00:43 PM »
Model year 2006. (both)
My contract embroidery person wants out of the biz.
Machines well maintained.

All hoops, thread and supplies.  70K.

Sounds like a good deal, huh?
We do a fair amount of contract embroidery.

What would you do?  - John

They are 11 years old.  Islandtees posted one less than a year old for $45k.

Personally, I would go new 6 or 8 head.  Tajima or Barudan.  He's also a contract embroiderer, which means those machines were probably running a lot.  Maybe I am wrong,but I don't think I'd buy them, that's a lot of money for used equipment.

If he's getting out of the biz is it including any customers with the sale of the equipment?

Doesn't sound that great of a deal. I mean its not crazy price but its not a "deal" really either.

A way better deal than that would be buying 2 new 2017 models...

I believe they are an older generation style so I wouldn't touch them at that price or any where near. Running Barudans latest generation is amazing and you see used later model Barudans for less than those 11 year old Tajimas.
