I've got an older Fletcher F-1000 Oval Cutter that I'm going to auction off right here on the Grumble!

Rather than sell it, I will take the winning bid and donate this check to a local charity: Harbor House Abuse shelter in Appleton, WI.

Details.......

Item: F-1000 with Retrofit kit. In good working order complete with glass cutting head, manual and dust cover. Cuts ovals/circles down to 1 inch and up to 19 1/2 inches. Original packaging still intact. Original cost: $1,100.

Bidding: Any registered Grumbler can bid. Bidding commences immediately. All bids must be in increments of $20. Bidding will end at midnight CST, 30 September, 2002. Minimum opening bid is $100.

The winning bid will be confirmed on the Grumble and should E-mail me with shipping details. I will UPS the item at the buyer's expense within 48 hours of confirmation.

Have Fun!

Beat ya Curly!
 
I think that might defy logic Curly! But we will go with it! Actually the trick on Ebay is to wait and bid the very last minute. We have created a stir......before you know it everybody will think they need it too.
 
$140.00

Whoa, we have a player here. Janet you might want to check with your husband before you spend the cookie jar. He owes me a brand new shiny metallic green Pathfinder. I bid $220 :rolleyes:
 
$320 - see what I miss by not loggin on for a day!! I'm tired of cutting ovals with my hand cutter
:D
 
Guess I should read thew whole message I am replying to! In Increments of $20 I'll go up to $340.

btw which hand cutter do you use? I've used a couple and haven't had good luck with them.
 
I've been using the Fletcher hand oval/circle - takes some practice, and maybe a couple of trys, but has worked well enough to save the $1,000 or so dollars - so far!
 
ALSO - this auction is goin on in TWO places!!!

WHAT is the CURRENT Bid?????
 
Hi Elaine,

Actually the bidding is going on here.....Cliff has the high bid of $500 with 15 hours to go! (He posted on my "Announcement" thread on the Grumble -- but we'll cut him some slack as he's a newby.) ;)

Thanks Elaine! You're a good sport.

Actually I think the CMC is the better way to go. As a startup I must keep cost down.

YES John it is the F-6100 that I want - everthing Fletcher in my shop! Got any good prices???

Cliff, congrats - hope you get good use out of the cutter. We don't do a lot of ovals/circles, but that machine would beat the frustration of the hand cutter!! We are fairly new in the biz, and are adding equipment as we go and can afford to - this cutter was one of the last things we didn't have, but as the CMC's become more affordable, I'm seriously looking at that - it might be a few months more, but hopefuly soon.

Congrats! No one likes a sore loser, and I LOVE auctions (usually antiques) - maybe that was why I couldn't resist this one!! :D
