Wizcrafts Report post Posted February 8, 2015 i believe the puritan you are talking about is what i have for sale? do you know the value? thanks!! No, but I'd be really interested in if if the price is nice. I would prefer a lockstitch machine with transverse feed, but can't locate one used. Transverse feed machines sew up and down the cylinder arm, rather than across it. They can be used to sew pants legs, sleeves, long cylindrical bags, rifle cases, etc. I am guessing that the Puritan, being a needle and awl chainstitch machine, only sews up the arm. But, I could be wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wizcrafts Report post Posted February 11, 2015 I was unable to find your blog, or the article you mentioned. As for prices for the various machinery, it is hard to say anything without having a knowledge of that particular industry. I'm sure they cost a lot more than most of us could conceive. What does one ask for a used machine that sold originally for $12,000? Have you considered hiring an auctioneer? He would place ads and arrange for the location of the sale. Auctions can be a winner or loser for the seller. But, if you list these huge machines on eBay, people may want them packed up and shipped. If you advertise on Craigslist, only people in your area may see the ad. Or, you can place an ad in our Marketplace, under Sewing Equipment, Used. List them all, with good details about each machine, then outline your desired prices, or ask for offers. Another line of thought is to show the price you paid, or retail value for everything and accept a certain percentage for the entire lot. If the buyer removes them you are so much further ahead.
