Was just another day, another call to PU Escrap...and then...the SURPRISE

Had two ASAP calls yesterday from private schools. Both were the typical mixed load of desktops, printers, a huge network copier/printer, overhead projectors and misc yada yada. At the one they said we have a few TV's and some other things down in the basement. No prob. grabbed the two-wheeler and we head down. We walk in and there is a pile of old projectors, wire, 2 TV vhs combos. Start sliding things out into the hall and getting it organized to take up the elevator. Then they ask if I will take this "thing" and get it out of their way. I look over, trying not to drool all over the freshly buffed floor, gulp and say, ummm sure...we can take that.

We had the older version of this paper folder when I had the print shop. Baum is the "Cadillac" of folders. Got this home, in the shop, cleaned it up a little and grabbed a stack of paper. Honestly, spent maybe 15min wiping it off and checking settings, pump, motor, rollers, etc. Ran 4-5 sheets, few more tweaks, then turned that sucker on full speed. pop pop pop pop pop folded every single sheet without a double feed or missed pickup.

There is one listed local for 2500. Sounds about right. Here is a recent sale on fleecebay.

Have a friend that is still doing sales and service for the trade. Took a short vid and sent it to him. This is one of those things that a man could get "greedy" with and sit on hoping to get that "top dollar". Offered it to him for 500. I do not have the time, or space, to give this the attention it needs to get the top dollar. And, while I have bought and sold a lot of printing equipment over the years, it is important for me to stay focused on what I am doing now, and 5bills on a quick flip... will go a longgggg way. Scores like this help offset the drop in prices on other things!!!



Now, having said all that, if he would decline for some reason...then, I will make the time... and space!

Oh well. Congrats Brojer!

We interrupt this program for a very important NEWS BULLETIN

...UPDATE...
We immediately invested the funds from the sale of the folder.

In what you may ask...

SPENDING TIME IN MISSOURI WITH MY GRAND KIDS!

The return is at least 20 fold!! The surprised look on their faces when I knocked on the door last night...PRICELESS!
I had not seen them in over a year and I did not tell anyone I was coming!

Have a blessed day!

Mine is

does that bring back some memories! we had a reoccurring order that grew to almost 200,000 pieces every 2 months. in the early days, we used ones like that to hand insert and staple an envelope in. we were only doing 20-30k at that time and it was a big deal when we finally got an electric saddle stitcher with wire feed. nice piece!
