Liquidation: framing shop

Post by soboframing »

Framing shop and gallery for sale in southern Maine. Established business in excellent, prominent downtown small town location. Our partner is out, and we can no longer run the place. Looking to sell the business for $20k or a 50% share buy-out for $10k. We took over the place in February with an established clientele and managed to keep things running in the black... except without any salary coming out of it. A bit of energy and marketing could turn that around...

Othwerwise...:

Closing up shop, everything has to go. We were a full-service custom frame shop and art gallery – sale of equipment and inventory includes all you would need to go into business or duplicate equipment and supplies you already have.

Includes:
Current stock frame corners from Larson Juhl, Omega, Décor, and more.
100s of feet of frame stick, metal and wood
100s of mat full sheets + usable pieces
100s of pieces of glass + usable pieces
Foam core, assembled frames, framed art, unframed posters and prints
1000s of pieces of hardware, mounting equipment, frame restoration supplies, and all the misc. stuff you might need.

Fixtures: front L-shape counter, wall-mount sliding units for corner displays, mat storage + table space, flat files, shelving, file cabinets, etc.

Equipment:
Morso guillotine cutter
Cassese cs89 underpinner + parts, and lots of pins + Kobalt 5.5 gal compressor
Rigid chop saw with Clearmount framing table + about half a dozen extra carbide blades
Sears and Roebuck scroll saw (unused, vintage, condition unknown)
VacuSeal 4468H vacuum press and heat sealer/laminator
C&H Bainbridge Ovalmaster oval cutter (mat, glass)
Carithers Mat cutter, model CMC48
Fletcher Mat cutter
Shrink wrapper, “3086-32 Shrink Packager”
Fletcher 3000 glass cutter
3 sets of frame vises, including 2 mounted on table.
Various hand tools

Looking to clear out everything – one money for all: $12,500/obo. Shop’s located in South Berwick, Maine, about 1.5 hrs north of Boston, about 20 min from 1-95 Kittery exit. Should be able to load everything into a large U-Haul truck. Will take offers on specific equipment, fixtures, or lots of supplies, but holding out through Oct 21 for bulk sale before parting out by piece or lot.

Hello soboframing and welcome to the Framers Forum here in the UK :D

If you have not already done so you may wish to consider placing your advertisment on "The Grumble". The Grumble is a similar forum as this based in the USA.

Very best of luck with your sale.

Peter.
