BRAND NEW Silver Reed electronic knitting machine (and accessories)

BRAND NEW Silver Reed electronic knitting machine (and accessories)
I purchased this in America in 2009. I then took it home to New Zealand. It has NEVER even been
assembled nor used. Yes, we opened the packaging but it is a brand new and fabulous machine.
In making the decision on which machine to purchase we talked extensively with Ileen from
www.ileen.com . She is a wealth of information (and I gather often sells to New Zealand) and her web
site is a great resource. We were looking for a machine that gave the ability to create and make
original designs to a professional/commercial level.
In providing the descriptions below, I have copied these from authorised sellers so they should be
accurate.
The total cost to us at the time was around $NZ7500.
We are selling this for offers close to $5500 (plus shipping). The machine is located at my family’s
home in Wanganui.
You can e-mail questions to me at: [email protected] or you can phone us in France on:
