KnittingIndustry.com launches Used Machinery trading zone
23 July 2008, Manchester, UK – KnittingIndustry.com, a global portal for the knitting and hosiery industries www.knittingindustry.com, has launched its own ‘Used Machinery’ trading zone. The highly intuitive and searchable trading zone has been designed by KnittingIndustry.com founder Billy Hunter, an experienced seller of used knitting machinery. Used Machinery is free to use for both buyers and sellers and its searchable machine categories are: Flat & Fully Fashioned Knitting Circular Knitting - Single Jersey Circular Knitting - Double Jersey Circular Knitting - Cylinders Circular Knitting - Conversions Hosiery Seamless Dyeing & Finishing Warp Knitting & Crochet Warp Knitting & Crochet – Warpers, Creels, Beams Miscellaneous Spare Parts Buyers can use Used Machinery free of charge and simply click on the relevant machinery category to find what they want. Billy Hunter explains: “If I am looking for a used Shima SES122FF flat knitting machine in 12 gauge, I simply click the ‘Flat & Fully Fashioned Knitting’ category and select gauge, width and number of systems from dropdown menus. A list of machines is then displayed and I click on it to reveal further detail and the seller’s details. I then contact the seller directly to discuss a purchase.” Hunter, who has sold all kinds of knitting machinery, designed Used Machinery using his knowledge and experience of the used knitting machinery business. “I wanted to make sure that Used Machinery was different to what is already on offer and comprehensive so that we could cater for all areas of the industry. I also wanted to make sure that it would be easy to use as most Used Machinery users will be short of time and need to be able to find what they want quickly. People like sites which are easy to use and where they can find what they want within a few clicks.” KnittingIndustry.com, which launched in May this year, already has readers in over one hundred countries who speak a myriad of languages and therefore it was important to design something which was intuitive and didn’t need complex instructions in lots of languages. “Used Machinery is so simple to use that it doesn’t need any instructions for either finding or uploading machines.” Hunter added. Sellers can simply register their company details on Used Machinery, set a username and password and can upload machines immediately. They can then change their list whenever they choose as they sell their machines. Used Machinery will suit all sellers of used knitting machinery, from companies looking to offload single machines to dealers with long inventories. Used Machinery already has hundreds of machines uploaded for sale here. Sellers with large lists of machines to sell, such as auctioneers, should contact KnittingIndustry.com to ask about its upload service by emailing usedmachinery@knittingindustry.com.
