Man this seems like a huge outfit, the equipment and factory stock is huge. Does anyone know if this was something that ultimately went offshore or just closed up?

Looks like its Adidas SLD, pretty large facility(s). Its likely due to the lost of the NBA license, which Adidas previously owned.

Correct
-
I want that auto reclaim, that thing is a beast!
-
Don't really need it now but that ink dispense/shaker setup is the bomb............. great for the largish shops

Shop was Jansport in Wisconsin. Fanatics purchased all of VF printers and closed a few. Some add on equipment from Adidas Iowa was added into the mix as well. The printing did not go off shore, just relocated. Too bad as the Jansport facility was run well.

Someone buy that Barudan for Christmas.

i was a little shocked at how much some of those items sold for. Some were bargins, but alot were close to retail!

Some things actually sold for more than they originally sold for. Some People should do their homework first
-
Wish they had the number of impressions written on each auction, and weather or not the items were functional.
Those CHIIIs would of been a good deal.
People were bidding 150$ per 16" winged floodbar... I buy those things for like $85 lol
-
That auction fever is crazy. I def. bid up some items, more than i wanted to spend...but we didn't win them, so that's fine.
We did get out bid on some things, only because I didn't get the email notice. which was a bummer!
-
I know the Addidas plant in Iowa near Dave at Bimmridder closed recently also
-
I bought my CHIIID at an auction... Wish I had space for one of those CHIII's at the time...
-
Someone have an account already on that and able to tell me current price of the 2x 14 color Challenger III's? and end of auction date?
Can't see much without an account but I'm not going to put in my CC info when I'm unlikely to pursue this with so many unknowns (print count, how is registration? etc).

The auction ended on Tuesday. They also don't supply that information (print count/reg - although the reg. shouldn't be an issue on the c3). They sold in the $60s.

Call me crazy, but I don't know how I could reliably bid on anything without knowing the print count or any sort of usage statistics. That plays such a huge role in the value.
If you were close to the auction could you go look at everything first? Was is powered on even?
Buying used stuff is hard enough, you really need to get your ducks in a row to know what your getting is a good deal.

Thanks for the info. I wasn't really considering buying used and unseen but the idea of upgrading to 14 colors (and blocking one color with the beam in the center of the warehouse where we are now - moving in a year) wasn't out of the question for the end of this year.
FYI, the reg was an issue (and still is a little bit) on our CH3 we bought used (made in 2010, bought late 2013). Immediately replaced the forks, bearings, even sent in and upgraded all of the front frame holders to be more solid but still aren't getting perfect registration with a Challenger 3. Have had a few techs look at it and we can't find anything, except when we print. Other press is fine. Still a great fast press but we won't be taking it with us when we move.

Our CHIII went off without a hitch...
Loved moving that machine, so easy. Electronic clips at each head simplified it. the tolerances on that machine were impressive.
Also the reg forks never came off. Arms and heads come off, but reg system stays in place.
Running an auto reg every few weeks has led us to perfect reg from day one...
Based on my experience, I would buy used from an auction again. Best part about M&R is parts are easily available, you can fix anything on them, and their service is top notch. If you are handy with machines, you can get some great deals.
