Members Ken Nelson Posted June 9, 2019 Members Report Posted June 9, 2019 Is anyone attending Weaver's annual consignment sale this year? Does anyone order buy on that sale? Thanks Ken Quote
Members GMHLeather Posted June 9, 2019 Members Report Posted June 9, 2019 I am thinking about going. Never been to that event before but they're about an hour's drive south of me. I've had my eye on their manual strap cutter for about a year now and if they have a deal on it I might be able to shell out for it. I'm wholesale with them and they had a deal in the last few weeks of last year for 10% off wholesale but I did not have the cash at that time. Quote
Members arashikage Posted June 11, 2019 Members Report Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) My family and I go. We've been going for a few years now. It's a huge sale. Wednesday is the leather and Thursday is the tools. Weaver usually puts some leather and tools into the sale so you can get some great deals. If you haven't gone before I recommend going at least once. Here's some pics from last year. These were taken on Wednesday so it's not all the equipment. Edited June 11, 2019 by arashikage Quote

I've been going for a few years and this is actually the first year that I'm not broke. It's hard to watch Singer patchers, in perfect condition, go for less than $200 when you don't have the money.

Members Ken Nelson Posted June 11, 2019 Author Members Report Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) What were the heavy single needle stitchers bringing last year? I asked weaver to send me a sale sheet. One page and not much on it. I would like to find a Luberto's Classic. Edited June 11, 2019 by Ken Nelson spelling Quote
Members SolarLeatherMachines Posted June 11, 2019 Members Report Posted June 11, 2019 I've been thinking about hosting an event like this down in the DFW area. I guess it just depends on interest. Quote Alexander

Some Cowboy stitchers brought close to $1000. Pfaffs and Adlers usually bring good money. Usually close to $2000. Still less than retail but high compared to everything else. Typically machines like a Luberto go a little higher because of the Amish that are there. So hand crank and pedal machines go a little higher than electric only. There were a few pedal Union Lockstitch machines that brought a couple hundred each. I did see on their flyer that they will be demonstrating their new Cub at the auction this year. Weaver doesn't seem to do much with sale sheets. Last year was the first I saw that they pushed one out early but that was because they had a big manufacturer go out of business and they brought everything to the sale. Quote
