blitz cut to code machine

[Guest Jon smith]

Hi,

I've been offered a blitz cut to code machine with about 500 cards + computer & software. Machine hasn't been updated for some time as person selling now uses a computer system. How much would this be worth and is it an ideal investment?

These are great machines ..

Price - hard to say - as it can depend on hold old they are ..

 

I will give you the average cost of New ...

 

Software - Up to date this year - £665 +vat

Machine book price - £1756 + VAT

2 x cutters £54 + VAT each ..

 

These are all new "" BOOK "" Prices b4 any deals ! but Hope this will give you a helping hand ..

 

PS - The new software - lets you print cards off from your PC - so the cards offered are not really needed any more !

Hi - If it is the Instacode software then its £59 per every 1/2 year update you need . so if its 2 years that it has not been updated for then its 4 x £59 . Hope this helps .

Jon Smith,

How old is machine,

 

Which software is he selling with machine?

 

Which version of software is it?

 

Does he have the disc for this software or is it just installed on the computer?

 

What cards does he have printed? (if he has household cylinder cards printed and you want it for car keys there no good to you)

 

Most importantly how much does he want for it?

 

These are the questions i would be asking if i was buying it, if you give me the answers i will tell you how much i think it's worth.
