Adler 204-64 Heavy Duty flatbed sewing machine

Hey Bob T.,

An internet escrow service souds like a good idea, but I've heard that there are lots of fraudulent ones. Although it seems that Esrcow.com is legit. Do you have one that you would recommend?

I can't think of one right off hand, so I would need to research it. The last one I used was related to a windsurfing equipment site so that wouldn't apply here. It shouldn't take too long to find a reputable escrow company that the buyer and seller can agree on.

Hi Spencer, I researched Ebay's recommendation and they recommend www.escrow.com See:

http://pages.ebay.com/help/tp/payment-escrow.html

So, WWW.ESCROW.COM is fine with me. Please consider that the following may impact how the transaction can take place. My wife and I are off on vacation for a month starting Aug 29. (Retirement is the best thing to happen to me!) The Adler is currently on consignment at:

http://randallmachine.com/catalog/product_...6083dee890ef76b

so, I would need to retrieve it from Cambell Randall in Yoakum (about 175 miles away) and mount it to a pallet for shipping. If things happen close to my departure on vacation and were to somehow get messed up, I wouldn't be available to un-mess them. If everything happens relatively quickly, there is plenty of time to take care of the details. If you want to postpone until I return from vacation in early October, no problem with the possible exception that Randall may sell the machine in the interum. If you want to check me out, one source is here (I'm that Bob Thompson):

Hey Bob,

I'm ready to go forward. With escrow.com's limit on checks and money orders of $2000, we are limited to credit card or wire transfer. My preference would be credit card, but that means that we would have to use their premium service. If that's fine by you then what's the next step?

By the way, I hope you and your wife have a lovely vacation.

Hi Spencer, I PM'd you. We can handle the details thru standard email. Thanks. Bob Thompson

Sold

Cambell Randall sold the machine just prior to receipt of escrow funds.

[Bob T]

I just found out that Cambell-Randalls sale of the machine fell thru so, the Adler 204-64 is still available. Price is $2600.

I have gotten the whole story about what happened with the sale of the Adler. It did sell to a buyer in Houston, but.... the buyer promptly broke a couple needles, scratching the hook and knocking the machine out of time. In this condition, they could not get the machine to stitch so they complained to Cambell Randall, saying the machine was a lemon and wouldn't sew. To appease the client, CR replaced the Adler with a different machine and instructed them on the proper operation of the new machine. Upon getting the Adler back to their shop in Yokum, the techs at CR checked out the problem, discovering parts of the broken needles, the damaged hook, and discovered how badly the machine had been knocked out of time. The problems with the Adler were completely operator error! They replaced the hook assembly with a new Hirose unit and put the machine back in time and it now sews perfectly. So, it is now back up for sale. The current price is $2600 if you buy it from me, and I will continue to drop the price $100 per month until it sells. If you approach Cambell Randal, they will have set their own price, substantially higher than mine.
