Now sold Admin, pls delete, cos I'm damned if I can see how to!

C'mon Aussie, c'mon! This thing is collecting dust and using much needed bench-top. Make any reasonable offer - I can't wait !

https://www.leffler.com.au/ is worth a look. Bit like Birdsall but reasonable prices, forget exchange rates and overseas freight. I find Birdsall has some good prices on leather.

They closed the Australian branch in March (just after I renewed my Elite membership!). There were a few bargains to get rid of stock. Now we have to go through Texas and pay freight from the US The prices have gone up (so much for being "Competitive"). I've moved my buying to Birdsall in Sydney and Leffler. Much better prices and cheap postage. Tandy has always had tickets on itself. I hope they lose all overseas business.

Sorry, my mistake. Here's a photo. Essentially it's a bog standard Tippmann Boss. Nearly new, hardly any use. For sale in Australia in $AU

This machine recently imported from the US, stitches leather up to 3/4 inch (19mm) and just about anything the needle will penetrate, like webbing and most plastics. No power required, hand operated and easy to use. Compact, portable. Spare bobbins, needles, bobbin winder, full instructions, some threads. Cost $2500 plus $300 freight. Yours for $1750 plus freight (or collect from Noosa QLD). Near offers considered. Contact discus49 AT gmail.com

I could well be wrong, but have Tandy told you they are withdrawing from UK? They have in Australia, where there was only one outlet. We are going to have to order from the US, in US dollars and pay overseas freight. I noticed several items out of stock in their catalogue. The only good thing is that there may be a fire sale nearer the time they close ?May.
