    Reward offered

    First off- not sure if this is the correct section of the forum for this, so if it's not I will gladly move it.

    Now to get down the business. We are looking to purchase a used later model Overbuilt car press. It has to be an overbuilt. We are having a hard time finding one that is in good shape/lower hours/reasonably priced (if I'm going to spend $120k on a 7 year old press I might as well buy a new one for $140k).

    If anyone knows where there is one available, or even where one might be available, we would be willing to pay a "finder's fee" of $1,000 upon our purchase of the machine.

    If more than one person sends us the info on the same machine it will have to be paid out on a first come-first serve basis.



    If you have any questions feel free to contact me. Again, I apologize if this is not in the correct section.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey guys,

    I really appreciate the emails. I don't think I can do PM's yet. I guess I should have mentioned that I've looked at the 2002 in Florida, it's in pretty rough shape. We have also looked at the 2004 That Dade Capital has. That one looks decent but they want quite a bit for a 13 year old machine. We dont mind spening that much money, but it would have to be something a little newer that way we don't have to change the valves over to the newer style.

    Again, I appreciate the effort guys. I guess im hoping someone knows of one out there that might not be online, or maybe one that's hiding in a corner of the internet.

    Thanks again guys!

    Actually I do know of one hiding in a corner, Rip aka Rupert Roueche recently retired. He used to come and crush my yard once a year.

    For fun google his son's name Clayton Roueche he even has his own Wikipedia page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_(gang)

    If your still interested I'll give you a phone number.
