Hi everyone.

I have been around for a while add the odd comment, yep I know I am odd anyway, but there you are no-one is perfect!

I run a small charity that helps ex-offenders. Like all charities we need to raise money to continue with the work that we are doing and I want to add a small shop to the website to sell items that have been sublimated, including mugs, phone cases etc. Also hopefully take orders for personalised ones.

My question is, what do my fellow subbers think of this machine/offer:- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321321896751? ... EBIDX%3AIT and yes I have been reading a lot about the problems with regards to the warping of phone cases etc, and I have already asked a couple of people directly on this forum for their comments. All but one has replied for which I am grateful..

I know that they say it is from Portsmouth, and I know that they are in fact fron China, and all that they have done is to ship a load to the UK and are using a Pompy address to send them out from. I didn't come down in the last rain shower!

But I thought I would throw it open for comments from you all, good and bad alike, comments that is!

What I like about the offer is that it has a large number of blanks, which I could play with until I get it right. Although I would love to have suggestions for heating, timings etc.

I am funding the purchase myself, not the charity. I have sold a number of items on fleebay to get the amount I need!

Hi James,

I also have one of these machines.

The link you gave doesn't look like a bad deal but it's worth shopping around.

I had a PM the other day from a forum member offering this:

1 x 3D Heat Press
368 x i4 Glossy cases
57 x i5 Glossy cases
9 x i4 Heating Jigs
3 x i5 Heating Jigs
3 x Cooling Jigs

He was looking for £600-700.

I purchased mine direct from China with a large number of blanks and every possible spare available (from vacuum pump to LCD display).

Best of luck with your Charity!!

Hi,

Do you know if the forum member did sell it? I would be interested.

Did you have to pay a lot of import duty?

I would appreciate if you could let me know more, don't mind if you PM the info to me!

James

this forum member pm me as well. and i am sure he did to other couple of hundreds members, as he wasn't premium member and can't use for sale section of this forum, he decided to spam via pm's.

Hum. OK, well it looks like I might have to rethink which machine I get because as it has been pointed out to me the extras being offered are in fact old phone cases and not up-to-date.

I might go for the Signzworld machine and just buy any extras as and when needed. Well it is cheaper and leaves me with more to spend on other stock!

Actually, I only PM'd maybe around 6/7 people - all of whom had recently been active in this 3D sublimation section as you guys are most likely to be interested.

Hi James,

I do still have this for sale. I appreciate that all the iPhone 4 stuff may be a little dated, but the iPhone 5 stuff most definitely is not. Please feel free to PM me if you wish to discuss this further.

JAMES990 - Do not enter into any negotiations with chillyv4eva until such time as the "BANNED" status is confirmed.

I have no dealings with this person and for all I know he could be legit. If he is he will certainly understand that you should wait for confirmation on why he was banned. Also and like website like Gumtree, do not part with any cash until you have the machine in your hands and have tested it.

Kind regards

I can confirm that i banned this user for following reason.

User contacted me with what he called bargain offer.
I didnt think that it was bargain as is second hand. Now he just admit that he contacted more then one person so this will be classed as spam.
I would like to remind you that only registered as premium users are allowed to sell on forum. I think loads of you remember last time when few people was scammed by a member of this forum. I hope you will appreciate that i would like to avoid anybody be scammed again.

Yup. I got the same PMs. Can't stand folk who won't just pay the subscription fee to become a premium member and sell legitimately. They probably spend a lot more than the entire annual fee on a single trip to the shop.
