    Thanks for visiting my listing.
    I have for sale a really nice Plockmatic 500 Production Bookletmaker with Squareback and Trimmer and Exit Conveyor. Booklet maker meter shows 11,000 booklets only. I have seen these with 500K+ working great, very durable units - made in Sweden.
    Bookletmaker unit was tested in "Hand Feed Mode" and works really nice and smooth. Everything in this machine looks nice and fresh. I have inspected and cleaned every unit and applied fresh grease/oil where needed in Bookletmaker, SquareBack and in FaceTrimmer.
    $5500

    Ultimately I'd like to have this unit picked up but I can palletize and assist with shipping arrangements per customer's request. Please keep in mind that with today's lumber prices, I will need $150 worth of plywood sheets and other hardware to build pallet/crate and will need couple of days to complete packaging.

    Hi OkiTech,
    Possibly depending on the pricing, does this do the square back?
    We can take care of the shipping, I would just need it skidded and wrapped for transport.
    The ones we were looking at looked like the below.

    Well, I just sent you a thumbnail of main unit that was given to me by warehouse guys. Obviously we're talking about machine with trimmer and squareback folder. Same set-up as I had originally posted and what you had posted for reference. I get these machines from leasing return warehouse. I will stop by tomorrow, evaluate the machine and try to close the deal. I,usually, like to be able to sell these with price starting with "4"
    But because this is kinda newer unit that "M" may/or may not cost us extra. Surely they will try to present it that way :)
    Lets do the final money talk when/if I will get the machine. Most imortant thing here that we get a nice machine with a lot of life left, "reasonably priced" is second important thing. So lets take one step at the time. Tomorrow evening I should have some results.
    I can secure this unit to the pallet and close it in to OSB crate for safety, done so numerious times.

    Hey Rob. Quick update:
    Got the machine, it looks beautiful, 69,000 cycles/booklets on the meter, which is nothing. I sold one with 700k two weeks ago - worked excellent.
    I powered the machine on, made few quick booklets without attaching trimmer, squarefold - just a quick functionality test to listen how machine operates - all good.
    I will fully assemble, test and service this unit over the weekend.
    Regardless of cycle count, there are some moving parts in the bookletmaker that are greased and with time grease turns in to goo and machines start to throw error codes when doing booklet size change, I took it in standard practice to remove all old factory grease and reapply a fresh one + take all the covers off to perform basic cleaning, do some adjustments if needbe. I will take a video of the machine operating when all is done, i.e. video of machine making booklets, upload it to youtube and send you the link.
    Are you ok with this terms? Realistically if there will be no hick-ups, we're looking at machine being packaged and ready to ship Monday January 2nd. It is a little longer then I'd like, but I'd rather apoogize for the wait then for the quality of the product. This being used machine and shipped far, I'd like to doublecheck everything.
    Best regards,
    Roman.

    I do not have one with square-back.
    Booklet maker + Trimmer only at this time.
    Gentelman I had exchanged messages before you also wants one but with squareback and I am having hard time locating one.
    I have 2 units in stock both Booklet Maker + Trimner, One is reserved for Bob Blythe, and waiting for availability of square back, if you want another one, let me know.
    Best Regards,
    Roman.
