Benzine Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 In order to better provide some answers, more information is needed. Where do you live, what specific size of kiln, what Cone will you be firing to, etc. To get you started, Craigslist is a good place to start. In some cases, people are really eager to get rid of a kiln, and won't charge much. Along those lines, you can check out Govdeals.com and publicsurplus.com, which list items from schools and such. Once again, they can go pretty cheap, if you find the right auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammule Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 +1 on government surplus. I hit a veritable gold mine when I purchased mine. HOWEVER, some deals are too good to be true, watch the volt requirements. I had a 3 phase given to me, but I couldn't use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Horn Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 The key words are "Urgently". and "new". Good bargains can be found on Craigslist but seldom do you see a near new kiln and around here they usually are not bargains. I spent 6 months waiting for mine. If "Urgently" is a true criteria online shopping the major suppliers is probably your best bet, unless you have a local supplier who really want's your business.. Several of the online people have very attractive freight deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammule Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Marvin, unicorns do exist! I saw an ad on Craigslist for not one but THREE new computer controlled Skutt kilns. And THREE Pacifica GT800 wheels. They were all located at a USAF base and (sadly) due to budget cuts they were offered to the public. They took bids and as luck would have it, I was offered a chance at all three kilns, and two wheels. I could only afford one kiln, but bought both wheels. When I went to pick them up, (after getting finger printed and escorted to the right building) I was amazed at the pristine condition of the items. I asked about all the bats, they informed me they were "lids", I showed the guys how they went on the wheelhead. They said "I guess they go with the wheels after all, take 'em." So I acquired 50+ new bats! I then was asked if I knew what all the other stuff was, like a brand new never used (or so it looks) Northstar Super Series slab roller. I explained how it works, how to adjust, etc. The guys who were in charge of liquidating the equipment then offered the slab roller to me for $50! Our little truck looked like the Joad's in the Grapes of Wrath. All told I got all this for the price of one new wheel. Good deals do exist, but they are few and far between. (Much like unicorns) Happy Hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
