most people know the price of bigger 3d machines, flat bed press, mug press etc and still buy in uk. :)

I don't want to sell them for 1000£ :)

I am planing to sell it locally any way....

Still lots of questions regarding the quality and consistency of the phone case blanks plus the reliability of the machine etc. At the prices stated I'll view this as money I'm willing to waste and if it works out then great.

I'd also be willing to take the risk :)

Just be careful Paul. The rules and regulations of importing and reselling are a minefield full of paperwork and bureaucracy. As an example, say I purchase a machine from you and because of faulty wiring (obviously unknown by you) I end up in a box six feet under. Because you sold the machine you could be liable and if you do not have the correct licenses etc you could end up in prison. its simply not worth the risk mate.

Everyone see's the prices in China and think that resellers here are making a fortune, while I think reseller prices could be lower (hint hint suppliers :-)) I also would not want to do their job for all the ... erm ... tea in china :-)

I'm keen to get one unit here for thorough testing, don't see much point in any more than that at this stage really.

I agree but personally I am out of this deal as I have concerns, for example, the machine was/is originally less than 300 dollars yet the package they want to create is 1-2000. That is a heck of a lot of blanks especially if purchasing from China. Also, if you have to purchase their jigs then I would steer clear as you would have no UK back up. If you do not have to purchase their jigs then why buy from them and pay the cost of shipping when BMS, Subli blanks and many others sell them here for next day delivery at £25.00. With regards to blanks, do you need that many when you do not know if the machine will actually work and their blanks are of suitable quality.

Sorry to sound negative as it is not meant to be, perhaps I am just playing devils advocate.

To be honest, if the machine was £200 plus shipping (not airfreight) of £50-75 then I would be up for it as it is not that much to throw away on a punt. Anymore than that then I think I will pass as I already have a 3D machine that has the famous BMS Back up and has a proven track record of working.

...but you'll need more accesories (as they're calling them) to really test the machine. The moulds look the most interesting feature to me.

got prices through as well.....:biggrin:

will be buying the lot, machine and all accessories/jigs/green molds/spare parts ect come monday...they dont work sat/sun
tried today, but lady never got back, but it was around 4pm our time :rolleyes:

that way if anything buggers up, i got the spares already here for quick replacement -

dont see the logic in buying the machine without buying the spare bits and all the jigs ect, unless you only doing mugs or phone case independently

just need to find out which 3d film there are selling - one is Chinese, the other is Korean - diff prices as well :rolleyes:

selling the low temp ink as well lol - nope, i aint buying it

who ever gets ones through first, please post your findings / thoughts on the machine on here :wink:
