Title: Need a PRESSING MACHINE ASAP!!!!
Post by: Harry on February 05, 2013, 11:12:41 AM
Hi Guys

After a cricket bat pressing machine. Hit a bit of a brick wall and can't seem to find any out there. Any help would be great? Anyone know or have one to sell even better?

Harry, if you have done some homework and come to a brick wall then the its either down to contacts or budget. But you maybe best drawing up what you want and getting it engineered.

They pop up for sale every now and then. Usually they are sold pretty quickly though.

Best to keep an ear to the ground and stay in contact with as many likely sellers as possible.

Hunts are going to inform me (for someone who asked a while back) as soon as they hear anything about one up for grabs, I can let you know about it if my original buyer drops out?

Seems like a sensible option... he wouldn't be the first to take that approach

I have some good contacts, my budget could be a factor, but there aren't many around at the moment.

Matt's press is long sold. Why do you need one so quickly anyway? Matt will press for cash! Find him on the sponsors section.
