Robbijoyeklow Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I love love love my 2000 Millie, and she's in great shape. I am treating myself to one of the brand new machines, so she's looking for a new home.Of course she has stitch regulation, horizontal and vertical locks, the laser, etc. power fabric advance.I took the thread trimmer assembly off to reduce weight on the machine. You will get all the parts.I switched out the clamps on the elastic, the original ones were too tight.I replaced the wheels with the new M&M wheels. All 8 of them.I have no means to deliver the machine, so you'll have to come get it.My millie has fantastic karma, I hope she'll bring happiness to another quilter.Email me at robbieklow@sbcglobal.net if you are interested. This price is $3500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimerickson Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Robbi: Where are you located? What are you asking for your machine? Thanks. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbijoyeklow Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 I'm located in Grayslake, IL which is a northern suburb of Chicago, and the price is $3500. I forgot to put the price in the original post, sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningThreads Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 At that price it should be gone by the end of the day. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SYork Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 i wish I could have found a deal like this when I was looking for a machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbijoyeklow Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 I was expecting people who have wanted a Millie but not have the funds to jump at this opportunity. If it doesn't sell quickly, I'll just trade in the head. Don't know what I'll do with the table though. I know as soon as it goes back to Des Moines that someone will be complaining that they want a Millie but they are soooo expensive. BTW, my 2009 Saab started out at $27,000 (Dealer demo, the sticker was actually $40,000) Now it's worth about $1000 in trade in. So I'd say money is better invested in a longarm.

michellegibson Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 I would be all over this but it's a little too far to fetch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele in NY Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 I've emailed you. It is a little far for me too, I'm in upstate NY, but maybe I can figure out a way to get it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debwinter Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 WOW sounds great, do you have photos that you could send me? Are you the original owner, did you use for business? Thanks Deb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningThreads Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I believe Dave Jones, Deloa's husband might be able to arrange shipping. http://www.deloasquiltshop.com/contactus.html Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele in NY Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Thank you for that information Nigel. I will contact them to find out how they would go about it and how much it would cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimerickson Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Jammer's mom: Go to the website USHIP. It's a shipping web site where you post the shipping job, and small independent shippers will bid on the job. All levels of service are available, so about anything you require is available. I had my Ult2 shipped to me from FL about 3 years ago. The hauler did a great job. Went and helped disassemble the table, loaded it and delivered and helped me move all the parts into my quilting room. It cost me $550, which I thought was very reasonable. BTW, I received bids that ranged from about $1000 down to just under the one I accepted. I paid a little bit more because I was happier with the delivery schedule and communication of the fellow who moved it for me. A very easy job. Regards.

Robbijoyeklow Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Jammer's Mom: I don't really want to work with an independent shipper. I want the buyer to come look at the machine, test it out and make the purchase. If the shipper damages the machine, there would be problems proving that the machine was in working order when it was sold. Also, this is my home. I don't want someone else to make arrangements for someone to come into my home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbijoyeklow Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I know I'm starting to sound like a crazy person. Sorry, in any case, I think I have a local buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinneaMarie Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Also try FedEx Freight for shipping. I got my machine delivered into my studio for about $200. Keep in mind that was 4 years ago!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele in NY Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I totally understand but actually I was looking at flying out there to check it out myself before I made the purchase. I just wouldn't have been able to bring it home on the plane with me so that is why I would have had to arrange shipping. If the local buyer doesn't close the deal, please let me know.

RunningThreads Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 My main reason for suggesting Dave Jones is that he is an APQS dealer who moves machines regularly and can do the set up and any maintenance it might need. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The machine was delivered and serviced and warranted for one year Dave travels most of the time to all the major shows and follows racing so there is a good chance he is near you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
