parrotthead Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Is it ok to buy a used sticker machine? I have had one or two, haven't had much luck but I think it was because of old product. Any brands to stay away from? Thanks for all of your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite is the Advance because the front comes out of machine so you can load it. Least favorite is the Northwestern. Just a pain in the golpher all the way around. The Allstar are ok. Ive only had one issue. The spot weld inside the front top of the display door breaks loose after time. It holds the aluminum stacker that that holds the cardboard folders. You can easily bend it back in place where it needs to go but its a nuisance. Also the chain gets stuck on everything as youre trying to close it all up.

I think I can talk him into $150 is that a good deal? Sticker machines don't come up for sale very often around here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parrotthead Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 ok, so you like 2 selection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodney69 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 My favorite is the Advance as well, only draw back is AA only has what they have in stock. Another one I've used that is similar is the Eagle brand. The outside frame isn't as thick, but I've had about 6 on route for over 12 years that have never had a problem.

I also like Advance, Peninsula and Brand. 4 columns are perfect. I generally run 1 boy tat, 1 girl tat and 2 stickers. It's a great mix. I also run a bunch of 6 columns in bigger locations. I buy 4 columns all the time for $50. I definitely wouldn't give more than $100 for one though. I think I like or do better with flat than many on here.

Thats what i have. the one thing ive had to deal with is that mine wont hold 300, i think 200 comfortably, and then ive had to trim about 1/4" off the displays to fit right.
