i hope this opens. It’s 200 vintage machines for sale in Kentucky. |
That's heart breaking,all those wonderful machines sitting there going to waste.

The warehouse looks very familiar. I think the original owner had some posts on a board somewhere about fixing up the space and sorting through the machines?
Darn my old age memory! K |

Wow, amazing that someone had that many machines and didn't do anything with them. And he only wants $12K for all them and that price is negotiable. Hmmmm….
It would be fun just to be able to go and see all of these machines in one place. I wonder what treasures would be in there. |
Last I heard the seller had hundreds of photos up on a fb page somewhere. I understand the desire to sell them all at once... but finding that person may be difficult. Maybe a small team could do it.

It's also not new. He's been trying to sell these for a while.

At 12k for the lot... a person would have to make 100 bucks on every machine on the average just to make 800 dollars. The chances that it would take at least 800 dollars to move them all, store them all, advertise them all and then let's add in the time to sell each one. It could take a year to clear them all out. Sure, some, -like the industrial machines- might bring 3 or 4 hundred a piece... but there's still going to be the fifty dollar lame ducks and every day you have them is another day for storage space - unless - you already have the space. I can see where it's not an easy sell.

I totally agree with you, Steelsewing. 12k is more than we paid for our truck! Its going to be hard to find the right person with that much in cash.
Some one in KS City is trying to sell his huge collection too. He started his price at 8,000 and when I last saw he has lowered his price to 4,000! I see an industrial machine on the right I would probably like. |
Oh, the KS City guy! All those German made machines.
I can't look at that one without a napkin handy... |
