I'm trying to retire...anyone want to purchase all the tools, equipment, matboard, supplies that I have on hand?
Or is there still businesses out there that purchase used equipment, etc.?
 
You need to be a little more specific about what you have to sell. Pictures and pricing would be helpful, too.
There are some brokers you can list your stuff with, but that come with a cost. I dont know of anyone buying up lots of used framing tools and inventory
 
No, I do not have any computerized equipment....most everything is from when we first opened our shop, years ago. All of the cutting equipment is C&H (wall mount G60; straight cutter; oval cutter). There is a (cold) vacuum press (Tip Top), a fillet chopper (Lion Trimmer), shrink wrap set-up, etc.
Six (6) Victor vises; lots of Mat Magic inks and powders. Hundreds of matboard sheets (all Bainbridge or Crescent, including suedes, Blackcore, Linens, silks, etc.). Moulding in lengths from various suppliers such as Victor, Williamson, J Orr and the like - all of which are
no longer available.
And scads of framing supplies: tapes, brads, hanging systems, wire, moulding samples and even a rolling cart that holds the corner samples and lots of fillets.

Not to be a stickler, but when I first read the above, I read it to say that you no longer had the moulding for sale. What I think you meant is that these mouldings have been discontinued but you still have them.
 
Rise,

You will get more replies when you list specific items with photos. There is a market for everything but you will have to describe items and preferably add a photo and price.
It will sell, but a general post will not get much interest.

I realize you can't list all the matboards or mouldings. That will also be something that is harder to sell. There are usually requests on here for specific matboard and you might be able to sell that way but you would have to keep an eye on that.
 
I'm selling the entire frame shop - all equipment, supplies, matboard, glass - everything. The cutters are C&H (flat cutter, oval cutter, wall-mount cutter). The Makita saw has the Phaedra system (with new rulers). There are 6 Victor corner vises. There is also a lot of moulding that I have in lengths; some I wish had never been discontinued. The matboards are Crescent and Bainbridge; quite a few are suede, linen, metallic, etc. The vacuum press is a cold press only.

I could only attach 8 files, so I'm continuing here...
Someone could just start their own business with all of this....it comes with extras such as Mat Magic paints and powders, books, all tools for framing, etc. All items needed for framing.

Hello! How much do you want for the C&H mat cutter?
 
I'm just trying to sell it complete - trying to sell it piece-by-piece is more difficult.

I wish you luck but to be honest, you will only sell it in a bunch if you get very lucky. You need to find someone starting their own shop to do this. As others have suggested, piecing it out is going to be your best bet.

And you haven't said what your price is? Without knowing the price, people are going to be less interested in responding. It's been over 7 months since you first post, perhaps its time to re-think this.

It’s true that selling piece-by-piece involves some work, but if you insist on selling it all in one lot, you probably would have to store it for years before a buyer comes along, and your heirs may end up scrapping or giving the items away after you’re gone - if they haven’t deteriorated beyond usefulness (rust, corrosion, lost or broken parts) while in storage.

For used equipment, the usual process is to sell individual items and require the buyer to accept responsibility for pickup, packing, and shipping. And that process works, because there are very few sellers who are able - or willing - to accept responsibility for a sold item after it leaves their possession.

Companies such as MoveIt and UShip can pickup, package, and deliver almost anything anywhere. They offer proper packing, professional handling, and insurance. If the buyer provides photos, weight, and dimensions, they usually will quote firm prices.

Yes, there is some work involved. But the buyer, who is motivated to acquire the item at minimum expense and in good condition, should do most of that work.

@Pegas, are you really in Kenya?
It's none of my business, I'm just curious if you are planning on shipping an entire framing shop halfway around the world? (Over 9000 miles).
The items for sale are in Oregon State, USA.
 
I am entertaining all offers. Literally. But the person who buys this must come and remove it. Bring a large U-Haul.
 
I will consider any/all offers, and this includes all equipment, matboard, moulding, etc.

May sound unusual to a USA based framer, but shipping a complete frame shop to Kenya makes good sense to me. I've spent my life in export and still ship product all over the world. Its simple when you know how! In Jan 2022, I found Kelly Gibson in Barbados who bought the contents of a frame shop on USA and shipped it to Barbados. www.frameartco.com Simple - stick it all in a 20 foot container and let s shipper take care of it. Can you imagine how many companies you would need to contact to buy all you need to start a frame shop.?

Makes good sense. I have had very limited dealings with shipping, except primarily with Canadian or US suppliers.
 
Hi there,

Is this all still available? I'm interested in starting my own shop and interested the whole lot. I live in Colorado and have friends I can stay with in Oregon. Please send me an email if it's still available- annalf2477@gmail.com

Thank you,
Anna
 
Its been a month since the OP was last here so you may not hear from him.

Welcome to the Grumble……love your handle!
 
Hey, folks who were asking about whole frame shop contents:

I am adding my notification about retirement sale options after Rise sold his things so someone will see it.

Then I'll create my own separate listing.
