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.
