FORMERLY OWNED LONGARM QUILTING MACHINES
This page was last updated: Wednesday, July 16, 2008
Here is some historical information about this web page and our intentions: For two year we offered FREE ads for sellers because we were interested in helping folks find good homes for their machines. These machines are certainly unique for both buying and selling because of their unique problems for the buyer and seller such as shipping/transportation and relative uncommonness. No one seems to know what they are or much about them. If you want to check this out for yourself simply stop the next 10 people you meet on the street and ask them if they know what a longarm machine is? <G>
We discovered some folks were using our public service as a way of getting a price on the value of their machines and were taking advantage of the visitors to our site as well as ourselves.
Still others were having us post their ad one day and then deciding not to sell it the next day after we had already uploaded it.......then contacting us again in a few days asking us to re-post their ad again. (They couldn't make up their mind to sell or not to sell.)
We now have a pretty good feel for the power of this web page's ability to sell your machine, quickly and at a fair price. Our entire web site continues to get more exposure, and the number of visitors to our web site is very gratifying. In July 1999 we began charging a nominal $35 advertising fee to post ads for machines for sale or machines wanted. We call this an honesty fee as it keeps folks honest about being serious about selling their machines, and not just trying to find out what their machines are worth. It also tends to keep folks from changing their minds about selling or not selling their machines on a daily basis.

Hi Jeff, I’m sorry to be so late
sending this. I thought that I sent it out as soon as the check cleared
from the sale of my APQS Ultimate I. I got 2 phone calls within a week of
placing the ad at House of Hanson. I sold it to the the second respondent.
I have also sent another person (2005 Gammill in NY) to your site. This site
just plain works. Thank you so much and please remove my ad. Linda

Jeff and Jackie, I wanted to let you know that my machine (ad below) has been sold and it can be removed from your site at your convenience. FYI--The second inquiry on March 14th was the buyer. Since that date I have received five mores inquiries and two of them would have purchased the machine in a heartbeat, I believe. I received my asking price of $xxxxx.xx The machine was picked up yesterday and they drove about 550 to 600 miles to pick it up. I want to thank you for providing this service and let you know that this is the best $35 I have spent on my business to date! I am upgrading to a Millennium and it should be here in a couple of weeks. Again thank you for providing this website to promote, educate and inform. Sincerely, Shelley Buckingham

Thanks for your message. Your web site is very effective! I have had several responses. Two of the respondents were very interested, and this morning I sold my machine to a lady who lives in northeast Texas!
I think placing that ad was the best $35 I ever spent.

Buyers: if you encounter a machine that is sold please send us an email so we can remove that ad so that others such as yourself do not make unnecessary telephone calls or emails. We contact the sellers to confirm the machine is sold before taking any ads down, so it can sometimes be a few extra days. We apologize to any of you that get caught in that time frame.
Buyers & Sellers: most ads continue to result in sold machines within a week or so even during the week of a MQS. We have had a difficult time keeping ads up very long. If you are thinking of upgrading your machine, it might prove to be to your advantage to consider starting now. The seller can always work with the buyer for the physical picking-up of the machine after the seller's new machine arrives. This gives the buyer time to arrange a location for the "new" machine and to get prepared with classes at the MQS or elsewhere, should the buyer be new to longarming.
We are often asked what the selling prices are of formerly owned quilting machines. We do not know what the machines sell for unless the seller offers that information when they contact us to have the ad removed from the web page, and we feel it would be rude to ask. However, based on our contact with sellers over the last several years we have a "feel" for the market and we volunteer the following opinion. <g> Generally, formerly owned machines sell for about half the price of a new machine. If the machine is old and well used (without new type accessories and possibly sold by a family member who knows nothing about longarming such as the sale of a machine after the death of its owner) it might sell for a quarter of the price of a new machine. However, if the machine is say 6 months old and loaded it can sell for three-fourths of the price of a new machine. Another variable is the individual model and brand of a machine. The most popular brand and model seems to be the Gammill Classic. These sell quickly and the sellers generally get their asking price.
Generally used machines work just fine and we know of no brand nor model that one needs to stay away from. Our industry is pretty fortunate in that regard. It is our belief that unless a used machine has been dropped or gone through a flood, it will probably be just fine.
All this having been said there are a few variables that make a tremendous difference to the buyer. If the seller is the user of the machine and can demo and possibly give a few hours of lessons (if the buyer is just starting out) it really helps. This serves several purposes the seller might not be aware of. By demonstrating the machine the buyer sees that it works. But, more importantly it gives the buyer confidence in what the seller says because it demonstrates knowledge of the machine. If the seller is a family member who does not know how to operate the machine and the prospective buyer is new to longarming it might be to the advantage of both the seller and buyer to find someone who can operate the machine to demonstrate that the machine is working properly.
This works in reverse of course. The buyer should do everything possible to visit the location of the machine in person. It is not extreme to consider flying commercially to the location of the machine to actually see it, touch it, ask questions brought on by being there vs. questions over the telephone. This will give the buyer a sense of the history of the machine too. The physical placement of the machine within a home or building as well as the geographical location of the machine (temperature and humidity of tropics vs desert), the owner, and the quality of the work the machine has turned out will give the buyer a better sense of the machine's care and history.
Shipment of the machine by a third party is not recommended unless necessary because of overseas shipment etc. The horror stories of shipping accidents to machines is not without its reasons. The dropping of a machine in shipment can cause damage that is difficult to see, difficult to troubleshoot (if you are new to longarming), and could require a return to the factory for repairs in extreme cases. Generally, in the case of formerly owned machines, the buyer or seller delivers the machine to its new home. It usually depends on who has the family and friends to support the move and also who has access to a vehicle and/or trailer to move the machine. By the way, horse trailers, RV's, and pickups with contractor's racks (you've seen painters carrying ladders on their trucks using these sort of racks, see photo below) are often used to transport the machines.
It is not difficult for two people, of normal size and health, to move a longarm machine if you are familiar with them. However, if you are the buyer and are new to longarming we would do one of two things. We would arrange to have someone who is familiar with longarming be present at both locations (can be two different people) for the disassembly at the old location and the reassembly at the new location. And/or, have someone video the disassembly process in detail with good voice instructions from a second person (or the video photographer) that are aimed at helping the reassembly process.
Here are some emails that described moving a 14' Gammill longarm via a SUV and a 12' Nolting via a mini pickup:
Well, it went something like this... It was a full sized, older Suburban, if that makes any difference. We loaded all the rollers in first, laying on the dash, protected with dense foam sponge and old test quilt blocks. Then we dismantled the table, which CAN BE DONE. It has five very long bolts, actually the width/depth of the table, and the heavy metal tubing which are attached to the lengthwise 2x4 stay attached to the board. So, now the table frame is two tubes similar to the rollers, and one wooden 2x4 with metal cross members attached. The bolts remove altogether. Next...let me think....oh, yes, we decided we needed some sort of brace under these heavy pieces of steel not only to help support them, but to keep gravity from assisting their ultimate demise on the Interstate 5. I looked around my home for about a half hour and spotted a kitchen stool which when turned upside down, served the purpose. In other words, the cushioned seat was used to stabilize the upside down stool on the floor of the back of the vehicle, near the doors. Then the metal rollers/rod/2x4 was hoisted into place, settling snuggly into the makeshift brace. The machine head was slid into the cargo area on the right, as we faced the vehicle, and the legs were wedged into place along the right. The entire jungle-gym was bungee-corded into place, protected with fabric and old batting, and the doors were duct taped shut. Can you just imagine this? If we weren't running so late, I would have taken a picture, but as it was, I arrived a half hour late at a doctor appt. In retrospect, we obviously would put the legs into the cargo area first, probably still on the left side. Then the head into the right area, followed by the brace BEFORE we wiggled the heavy rollers/rods/2x4 into place. It was raining and was about 6:00 am, so it was dark when we started, putting common sense and pre-planning behind the desire to get the job done. I would recommend anyone trying this to take the entire machine apart first, and THEN load as I mentioned above. It was a real hoot...three women and two men monkeying a $10,000.00 piece of equipment into a car, protected with sponges and trash bags. Add the Oregon version of car locks...aka duct tape... and voila, you've got Gammill ala DeSalvatore. Additionally, the rollers, etc., only stuck out about a foot from the end of the cargo space, so red flags and a military escort weren't necessary! Take care! Sue DeSalvatoreHere is an email that described moving a 12' APQS longarm via a full size pickup:
-----Original Message-----
I bought a used Nolting 24-inch long-arm with a 12-foot table about 3 years ago. I needed to move it about 90 miles from Moscow, Idaho to my home in Spokane, Washington. My husband and I moved it with my sister's little Mazda B2000 pick-up that has a 6 ft. bed. The truck has an extended cab with a sliding window in the back of the cab (a VERY important feature!). My 12-foot Nolting table comes apart in the middle to make two 6-foot sections, so the table top fit in the bed of the truck. The rollers went through the window of the cab and rested on the dashboard and at the back they rested on the tailgate with about 2 ft. of overhang. We secured the rollers very well (lashed together and also secured to the truck) so that they couldn't slide out the back, and we had no problems driving 90 miles on a country road. We did have a chase/following car, and we went very slowly.
Picking up the 14' Gammill in Bandon, Oregon and driving 600 miles to Spokane, Washington was even more exciting! The "work crew" was three middle-aged (but extremely LOVELY!) quilter-type women (Sue 1, Sue 2, and Mary Ann) and one 50-something man and a 30-something neighbor/handyman (who was indispensable!). Because we wanted to see the machine in operation before the final purchase, it wasn't dismantled before our arrival in Bandon. We took the whole thing apart and packed it up in about an hour and a half. The hardest things to transport were, of course, the long pieces. We thought about putting them on the roof, but they are so heavy that we really did not want to do that if we could avoid it. If we had put them on the roof, we were going to use a support on the front bumper that is the kind people use to haul canoes. We would have then lashed the rollers and other long pieces to a long piece of plywood so that they would not roll or slide around. We would have secured the plywood and long pieces to the roof rack. But we didn't end up having to do that. The 14-ft table came apart into two 7-ft top sections of almost flat very light plastic (about 24" by 7' each--not a problem to fit into any car) and the table sides that were about 6" by 6" by 14 ft long (and very heavy), and the rollers which were 14ft long (and very heavy) and a middle support for the table which was about the same as one of the table sides. That bunch of stuff was lashed together and put in the middle of the Suburban resting on the dash in the front and going out through the middle of the barn doors which were bungee-corded and duct-taped together because they wouldn't close/latch. The long stuff was supported by an upside-down wooden stool so that it was just about level with the dashboard (to minimize the possibility that gravity would enable it to SLIDE out the back and cause a really horrible accident!). In the back of the Suburban we also put the table legs and the machine itself and cradle and all sorts of auxiliary materials. All that stuff was no problem, of course; it was really just the long pieces which posed a challenge. The third seat of the Suburban was put down flat but the second seat was left up in the normal position. (Sue DeSalvatore wants to patent the upside-down stool as a Handy-Dandy Quilting Machine Relocation Support System and sell them for $179.95 each!) <G> The rig was VERY white-trash looking when we were done with it! The driver had pretty limited visibility, so a navigator was essential for the drive. We drove 600 miles at highway speeds with nary a mishap except when we took a little side-trip to visit the Pendleton Woolen Mills Outlet Store (I can't miss a visit to that place!) and I went across some railroad tracks a little hastily and one of the rollers bumped the windshield and cracked it. Fortunately, the glass had a previous crack in it, so Sue W. (the machine's new owner) wasn't terribly upset about it. It was a little noisy in the truck with the back doors partially open, but that was a small price to pay for saving shipping expense which would have been at least several hundred dollars. I think a Suburban or similar-sized SUV with the other kind of back door (a tailgate and upper window that flips up or opens) would have worked as well or even better. The secret is to make sure that the stuff CANNOT MOVE AROUND. We were very lucky that the worst weather we encountered was a little light rain. Given our choice of late January to make this trip, we could have run into really rotten weather.
Feel free to post this on your web-site or refer people to it (or to me) if
they want more information about how to move one of these wonderful machines.
The trip was really quite fun, and it was great to meet Sue DeSalvatore. and see
her art quilts and other creative decorating touches in her home.

Hi Jeff and Jackie, I wanted to get back to you, I heard from 'the lady from Maine' and the Ultimate II arrived with no problems. We had exchanged several e-mails and she had found another Ultimate II in her area that she could look at. After seeing the machine in person she decided that it was what she wanted. Then we exchanged several more e-mails and spoke on the phone to work out the shipping arrangements. I had packaged the head and drove the table and head to North Bay Freight and Crate, in Santa Rosa, CA. They were wonderful, patience, and professional. They crated the table ($327.00) and from there the buyer, 'the lady from Maine' handled the shipping. That way she could direct the arrival and the insurance, should something go wrong. We were both very pleased with how everything worked out. It was a little work, but not that bad. The machine went from the north coast of California to a small town in Maine in 16 days.
Also - things to think about -
*How are you going to ask for payment ? Remember that this is most likely going to be a large sum of money from someone you have never met. Discuss ahead the options. Payment in advance, cash, cashier's check , etc are some options.
*If your buyer is coming to get the machine - Discuss how much time the buyer wishes to spend running the machine or receiving instruction on it's use and features and confirm who will be disassembling, packing, providing packing supplies, etc. Thanks again.
Buyers & Sellers: We continue to get emails from folks complaining that when they contact some of the folks with ads below that they are being told the machine has been sold. Sellers, PLEASE, contact us as soon as your machine is no longer for sale so that we can remove your ad. It is the courteous thing to do. Buyers, if you contact a seller below and are told that the machine is no longer for sale PLEASE email us WHICH ad has the machine that is no longer for sale. (email links are at the bottom of each of our web pages) We will not remove an ad until we check with the seller first, and since this can take awhile if folks are not readily available, buyers need to be patient and could experience ads with a sold machine in these cases. A particular buyer & particular seller often agree on the sale of a particular machine with a pickup/delivery date in the future and the money to be exchanged at that time. In the meantime, this particular machine is not really for sale but it is not really sold yet and folks don't like to take their ad down quite yet. We can understand this. So effective December 17, 2002 we will start doing what they do with real estate signs or ads and add the words Sale Pending to ads in this situation. So sellers please contact us if and when adding the words Sale Pending is appropriate for your particular ad. We will add Sale Pending to your ad and remove it if necessary for FREE. We can also remove your ad for you if you feel your machine is sold, AND should the sale fall through we can and will repost your ad for FREE again. So PLEASE everyone, this is all about communications. Please keep us in the loop. Every ad we have ever posted on this web page to my knowledge has been a private party and not a business selling a machine. Life can have illnesses, deaths in families, personal problems like flooding or tornadoes, and smaller problems such as internet service providers going out of business or computer viruses or computer hard drive failures. So for various reasons, try as we can and do, we will always have some ads slip by with machines that are no longer for sale. We would rather error on that side than removing ads before their time. Suggestions welcome. Happy Holidays, Jeff and Jackie December 17, 2002 (Update December 20, 2004: The Sale Pending label is working out even better that our wildest expectations.)
Many buyers visit this web page almost daily. It is much easier and FASTER for visitors to read the ads if the information in the ads is standardize somewhat and it helps the buyer quickly compare and find what interest them if the information is presented similarly from ad to ad. It also encourages buyers to return to the site another day to look the ads over that are listed at that time as well. So sellers are asked to keep their ads professional. Make an attempt to make them similar to other ads with the exception of your telephone number, your email address, your machine's details, your location, your price, etc. Some folks seem to think it is important to make their ad stand out. When a Rolls Royce goes down the street folks look. If you paint your car purple with basket ball sized PINK dots on it, folks will also look at your car too. This is not the kind of attention you want to attract.
With this concept in mind, in January 2005, all new ads assume the price of a longarm machine does not include FREE delivery of the machine to the buyers location. <g> Common sense tells us that the total price of a machine will go up if the machine has to be shipped and the amount it goes up depends on where it is being shipped; which is a variable determined by the buyer not the seller. So shipping is the responsibility of the buyer and is NOT INCLUDED for free by the seller. If you purchase a new longarm machine from a dealer or the factory you will pay for shipping unless you haul the machine away yourself with your family or friends. Buyers do not expect to be able to purchase a machine on the west coast and have the seller ship it to the east coast for the SAME price that they (the seller) are willing to sell it to their next door neighbor. We would guess 95% of all machines are hauled away by the buyer. This is the kind of information that the buyer and seller discuss when they contact each other about a machine. The ad cannot anticipate all possible situations.
Sellers: We charge a $35 one time fee to post your ad to the http://www.houseofhanson.com/formerlyowned.html web page. We will gladly make reasonable changes to the text of your ad such as price, telephone, address or email, etc. as the need arises. Our intent is to keep your ad up until your machine sells baring unforeseen circumstances on our end such as fire, earthquake etc. From a practical standpoint we will keep your ad up at least one year. As of this writing we have never had an ad exceed 6 months before the machine is sold. Most go within one month and we have had several sell on the first call. During December 1999 they were selling in less than a week even with the holidays, Y2K and winter weather. About half of all the machines sold are purchased by folks who are farther than 1000 miles from the seller. It is truly amazing how this whole thing works. So think it over and let us know if you would like to post an ad with us on our site. If so send us a check (sorry we do not take credit cards nor PayPal nor will we bill you) for $35 made out to House of Hanson
House of Hanson
122 Coronado Avenue
San Carlos, CA 94070-2806
Email us with your ad's content within the body of your email to us. Either plain text or HTML format is fine. Please do not send attachments. Attachments are not necessary, they slow things down, and have security risks. We do a cut and paste of your ad from your email (email links at the bottom of every web page). Please don't snail mail us a letter with your ad in the letter. This cost you time. We can have your ad uploaded before we receive your snail mail. By the time we re-type it and upload it we can introduce errors and mistakes. We will post the ad as soon as practical (generally within an hour of receiving your email assuming the California energy "crisis" permits <g>) We would appreciate it if along with the text of your ad that you add a simple statement saying that you have visited this web page and that you acknowledge the $35 advertising fee. We will email you once your ad is uploaded and then email you again to let you know when your check has arrived. Questions? just ask. Jeff
To place an ad with us on our site the seller must have an email address and be internet capable. We can do a cut and paste of an ad from an email and get it error free. We communicate with our sellers after their ads go online, and we exchange emails with ad updates or "Sale Pending" additions. Buyers want to communicate with the seller directly and one of the advantages to email vs. the telephone is you don't have to be concerned about time zones, you don't have to play telephone tag (unless you want to) and you can inquire about a machine regardless of the time of day. Also, sellers need to be able to let us know their machines have been sold as soon as possible so that we can keep the web page up to date for the benefit of our buyers.
We do strongly recommend all ads have telephone numbers listed
in addition to email addresses (a requirement). But, we discourage actual street addresses from being listed in ads. When
it comes time for the buyer to come look at the machine you can always give them
your full address. Asking
prices within ads should be US dollars unless otherwise specified. This makes it
easier for buyers to compare machines.

but it does have the laser stylus, regular stylus, horizontal channel lock,
standard thread holders as well as cone holders, single stitch positioner,

(that I have never used), and the original ruler and training videos. I
think I still have the Gam Guide--another tool that I have never used--I'll have
to look for it. It takes the larger double sized bobbins so that you don't
have to change as often. There is a large table in the back that will accommodate
large panto patterns, if that is your thing, and I am throwing in
many pantos (30 or so) including airplanes, feather meanders, dragonflies,
chantilly lace, and several in-block patterns. I have an extra oil bottle,
some hex wrenches, and a few bobbins that I will throw in, too. There
is also a long bar that runs the length of the table underneath that is
supposed to hold batting. My kids had too much fun playing with the
batting, so that didn't work out for me. The table also is mounted on
casters for easier moving. As part of the package, I will offer training
in whatever form is possible given distance between the buyer and me. I
will also pay to have it tuned up before shipping or delivering it.

I have built up a thriving quilting business with this machine--I am only
selling it so that I can buy a new one. I would only ask that the buyer be
patient with me about delivery dates as I can't be without a machine for too
long or I will be even further behind than I am now! I am located just
outside Phoenix, AZ.
