FREE Sewing machine inventory (100+ machines,parts), Storage Rack $500

[Uwe]

Now accepting applications to take possession of my inventory of industrial sewing machines, all stored in a 40’ shipping container in Taylor, Michigan. Tell me in a DM why I should gift this inventory to you.

The pictures give you an idea of what’s in the container. I don’t have an inventory list, sorry!

While the sewing machines and parts are FREE, the industrial racking system is $500. 

If you can’t afford the racking system then you’re not a suitable candidate to take possession of the inventory.

I will hand you the key to the container and you have to take over the storage lease for the container ($125/month, prepaid until the end of July.)

It’s all or nothing, I’m not trying to get rid of individual machines.

I live in Chicago now. I can make the trip to Michigan with a few day’s notice, but only to close the deal and to take over the storage lease, NOT to have a look-see or to browse.

If there are no takers by the end of June, I will start calling scrappers, as much as it would pain me to do so.

Here are pictures of the inside of the storage container from last summer. (There a few file boxes and plastic tubs with personal estate items, which I will remove.)

Uwe . . . that isn't an "inventory", that's a "Sewing Machine Museum".  I hope that whomever takes it on realises the huge amount of time it's taken to accumulate it and how, if all cleaned up and made functional which is not to say they sew, they could be put on public display. I cannot even image the stress you went through before deciding you had to let them all go, my thoughts are with you.

Uwe, I’ve admired your precision, and generosity with advice for years. Found this ad while searching for your flatbed attachment for my 205-370. Trusting you, I’d be thrilled to purchase your treasure trove. 1) Is your paid storage lease over by July’s end? 2) How can we get the machines packed safely to transport to my farm in SC? 3) Am I correct in assuming the container comes with the machines inside?

Thank you for this stellar opportunity. I’m somewhat handicapped with balance and vision problems from an old head injury. This means I am unable to travel alone to MI or Chicago … and I live alone.

Hey Uwe,

I know this is an “all or nothing” type of deal, but if you get to the point where you are getting rid of machines because you cannot find a taker, I’d love to swing by and purchase one (or more) from you. I’m over in the Grand Rapids area and have been struggling to find an industrial machine to buy, looks like you have a ton. If that’s an option please let me know!

I’m happy to report that the inventory has found a new owner and is in good hands.

Thanks to all who had expressed interest!

Cheers,

Uwe

Hi Uwe,

Sorry you had to part with it all.

My daughter and niece live in Chicago.  My Dad and sister are in Plymouth, Mi.

Whoever got it all;  If you want to part with some of it, post a listing of what you have.

I might have some interest in a few things.
