looking for some information

me and my grandfather were cleaning his basement and found a studio 360/260LC carriage in box and with the packing but no user manual and wanted guidance about selling it since he doesnt need it

Listing it on Facebook marketplace or eBay might be a good option

thats the plan we just dont know about what to price it around since we have no clue how sought after it is

Someone currently has the same carriage on eBay with the box and manual for 135€/160$. Although obviously pricing it around 30-70 which seems to be a typical range for second hand carriages, would probably sell faster than something priced above hundred.

I don’t know about your location, but in the States, a carriage costs close to the price of an entire machine with a carriage.

Oh interesting, I didn't know that. I've seen brand new carriages go for a lot but second hand ones on marketplace etc. be in the 100 ± 50 area

Prices of these vary widely depending on where you’re located.
Some areas have lots of used knitting machines on different sales sites where other area have very little access and have to ship items in.

Have a look on fb marketplace if you have a fb account. Some people price their items on eBay prices but those are crazy. Also consider whether you have the knowledge or access to a machine to test it. It may look like new condition but the patterning drums could be totally seized and the buyer will be left with some maintenance to complete before they ever try and use it.

The manual is available on mkmanuals.com so you could at least check the picture and make sure it’s complete. I can’t remember off the top of my head what comes with the carriage- weights maybe?

I would list it on the lower end of what you find with the condition as untested.

Now that we have Ai capability, if you Google “what is the value of a studio 360 knitting machine with an LC260 lace carriage” and you will get an idea of what they’re going for…somewhere.

(Now, whether that’s an accurate assessment, and whether it differs from place to place is another thing to consider.)

honestly id rather ask a community of people who know about this
