Members David Bruce Posted January 6, 2018 Members Report Posted January 6, 2018 This is not my machine but I thought that I would post it on here since I rarely see these listed outside of ebay. It's listed on Chicago's Craigslist for a steal. https://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/tls/d/kwikprint-model-64-hot/6447960806.html Singer 111w155, Consew 206RB-1, Cowboy 3200, Fortuna Bell Skiver, Landis 30, Campbell Keystone Skiver, Dixon Skiver, American 3 in 1, 2 Kwikprint Model 86's and Model 64, Clicker Press, Regad Heat Creaser, Merrow 60W, Singer 114W103 and an addiction to hand tools

I don't think they would like that, Mike. I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Mark842 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Posted January 7, 2018 be careful! one on eBay with the same exact picture for $1500. https://www.ebay.com/itm/KWIKPRINT-Model-64-Hot-Stamping-and-Leather-Embossing-Machine/401418567200?hash=item5d76693e20:g:BxoAAOSwyjJZ1~cH
mikesc Posted January 7, 2018 Report Posted January 7, 2018 $1500.00 is about what the shipping would cost me..I think I'm safe from that ( maybe scam )..but.. Thanks for researching it for anyone else reading..can never be too careful. "Don't you know that women are the only works of Art" .. ( Don Henley and "some French painter in a field" )
Members David Bruce Posted January 7, 2018 Author Members Report Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) I can't say if it's legit or not but the ebay listing is in the Chicago suburbs so it's probably the same seller. I bought a model 86 last month with a custom stand and two sets of type from facebook's marketplace for under $300 but it needed almost $400 in new parts. This one's (model 64 not 86) been on Craigslist for awhile and they keep dropping the price. Maybe they just want to get rid of it since it looks like it's taking space in a business?

I gather it is from eBay fees. The one I saw on eBay even mentioned his ad on Craigslist for 500 less. I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather.

Just saying for a potential buyer to do their due diligence. I trust the seller on eBay actually has the item over the craiglist ad. eBay seller has a track record of 30,000 sales on a venue that allows a buyer recourse if something goes wrong. Not to mention their price is far more realistic. If it's too good to be true....

Members David Bruce Posted January 8, 2018 Author Members Report Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) I noticed that the seller listed their address on the Craigslist ad so I googled it. Looks like it's a business called Irv's Luggage that's been around since 1947. They are in Mount Prospect, IL which is just north of Chicago. https://www.irvsluggage.com/ Edited January 8, 2018 by David Bruce additional info Singer 111w155, Consew 206RB-1, Cowboy 3200, Fortuna Bell Skiver, Landis 30, Campbell Keystone Skiver, Dixon Skiver, American 3 in 1, 2 Kwikprint Model 86's and Model 64, Clicker Press, Regad Heat Creaser, Merrow 60W, Singer 114W103 and an addiction to hand tools
Northmount Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 OP advised that this item is no longer listed for sale. Tom
