Not working out.

Postby jaigh_taylor » Tue Oct 06, 2009 5:05 pm

As many that have come before me, I'm throwing in the towel on the laser engraving business. The leasing company in question will allow a lease transfer to someone who meets their credit requirements.

For details, please contact me at jay (at) overvolt (dot) net.

The equipment in question is:

45 Watt Epilog Mini 24 with very light use. Rotary attachment
Electrocorp RSU12-CCHR with 1 or two pre-filters left.

Better start with what part of the world are you in . Then when you have considered that and why thats needed perhaps you could add the other necessary details a purchaser might want to know

Probably a good idea! Here are a few more details:

The machine is currently located in Southern Colorado and has original packaging.

Lease payments without insurance and property tax are $375. One year has been paid down on a four year equipment lease that has a 10% buy option at the end of the lease term.

Again, if you have any questions please contact me at jay@overvolt.net.

Take a look here:

They say they're looking for Helix minis, but I don't know what they can do about your lease.

Solar,

Thanks for the heads up. I've contacted them but it seems that they're being...less than helpful.

Thanks again though!

Good news! The machine got sold a week ago. I still owe a bit on the lease, but $3000 is significantly less than what I did owe. ;)

I do have a barely-used container of ceramark LMM-6000 that needs to find a new home, as well as the aforementioned filtration system.

Jason,
Sorry to hear it didn't work out. I stuck my lease out to the end but dang it was a lot of money for not much bang.

My $29,995 machine cost me $60,000 after interest and whatnot. Thankfully, it was a $1 buyout lease so I own it outright now. I've made nearly $5000 in eight years.

Let me know what you want for the cermark, it's hard to ship due to flamability concerns.

Michael,
Still drifting along without a business plan (or a clue for that matter).
70W Epilog Legend 24, bought it new in December 2002
