I see those come up for sale from time to time. I am looking for a fully functional setup without too much obvious wear and tear. $500 - $600 new prices seem extremely high to me.

Obviously I seeking a seller who is either in the NY tri-state metropolitan area where a sale can be conducted in person or using a transaction payment mechanism that provides protections for both buyer and seller.
 
Marcus has this used 1 for sale right now. Trusted azer for yrs.

Thread 'Williard Tipper Trimmer machine'

I have had several of these for years, and do tips with them as good as anyone with a lathe. Yes, the scuffer and leather are gone, but I use a rasp to scuff and a loose piece of thick leather to burnish. I just installed a brand new blade. (the package for the blade is shown so the buyer has the part number for replacements)

I believe these are almost $600 when new.....For what you see here:
$349 shipped paid with a feeless payment

Discounted to $299 shipped!

Hope this helps you out
 
I am afraid that I was the victim of a scam here. A new member reached out to me to let me know that an existing member @igtsm4u had "just what I was looking for".

His profile has been on here since 2009 with 100% positive reputation albeit with a small sample.

Long story short, he got me to send him money for the Willard tipping machine last Friday. I was led to expect shipping as soon as the transfer was confirmed (or early the next day)

On Saturday he said it was scheduled to be picked up on Monday.

At the end of the day on Monday he claimed that he had some personal issues to deal with and that it would be going out in the morning

At the end of the day today he says some strange thing about USPS being screwed up and that it had once sent a package of his out of the country.

(email from 62Cobra)
"I agree with you. I'm sorry I don't know why USPS is messing up, they once sent my item out of the country. I'll have this resolved. Thank you!"

At the end of the day I feel like a fool. This marketplace is a complete cesspool.

Initial DM from @DannyDee2
"You can check on @igtsm4u but I haven't seen him on here for couple of days. You can reach him via email- 62cobraturbs@gmail.com,he has a few of them, plus he's a dealer...straight up Great Guy!!"

Person who claimed to be selling the Willard Tipping Machine - @igtsm4u

Person who i actually send the Zelle payment to - Katerina Stewart

Payment description- Invoice 12032

Send a picture or receipt of your Payment confirmation. I’ll have it shipped with UPS priority.

Thanks!


Warning to others.

Do not send money out first. Certainly not via Venmo or Zelle because there is no way to get it back. Use Paypal or some other option such as a trusted 3rd party to escrow. It might cost a bit more and take a little longer but you are better off.

To the moderators here can you please place the blackest of black marks against the members who are involved.

Sorry to hear you got scammed… @DannyDee2 also tried to scam me. To be fair, I don’t think @igtsm4u is actually involved. It looks to me like @DannyDee2 is just directing people to @igtsm4u’s profile because he has good reputation and feedback.

Did you actually have a conversation through AZBilliards with @igtsm4u? Or was it just through email?

In my email conversation I asked the individual to send me a message on AZ from @igtsm4u profile and they stopped contacting me after that which leads me to believe that they are merely impersonating @igtsm4u and that they don’t have access to that account….

Here are some screenshots from my conversations. Keep safe everyone.
