Roller Crimper For Sale

ASAN acquired a roller crimper as part of a collaborative grant in 2008, with the intention that, after the grant project ended, it (along with several other pieces of farm equipment) would be rented out for farmers to use on their own farms.  That happened, though not at the scale that we would have wanted, as proper management of the equipment’s rental, transport, maintenance, storage, and administration requires infrastructure and resources that ASAN simply does not have at this time.

Therefore we decided to sell the equipment to ASAN members, so that it may see wider and/or more frequent use.  (The other pieces of equipment have already been sold.)

All funds generated from the sale of the roller crimper will be reinvested to fund ASAN’s work to support Alabama farmers in other ways.

Specs and details are below, including photos.

Purchasing eligibility:
You must be a current ASAN member in order to purchase the equipment.  If you are not a member or your membership has expired, you can join/renew at https://asanonline.org/join-asan/.

Pricing:
Sold AS IS, and without haggling.  This implement has been lightly used for about 9 years and is in good working condition.  The asking price accounts for depreciation from age and wear and tear.

Sale is, for the most part, first come first serve.  In the case of multiple offers, ASAN reserves the right to select a buyer who aligns with our desire that the roller crimper have a broader educational/training purpose or have impact on multiple farmers (ex. a co-op).  It is not a requirement for purchase, however, that the equipment be shared or used for education.

Transport:
The roller crimper is currently housed in Shorter, AL.  The buyer must arrange to pick up the equipment within three weeks of purchase, and is responsible for bringing a vehicle or trailer appropriate for transporting it.

Payment:
SALES TAX:  Sale is subject to 1.5% sales tax in addition to the purchase price.

SCHEDULE FOR PAYMENT: The buyer must pay at least 50% of the total price (up to 100%, if preferable) at the time of purchase.  Any remaining amount still owed must be paid before pickup of the equipment.

ACCEPTED FORMS OF PAYMENT:  Payment may be made by check / money order (preferred), or using a credit/debit card.  Debit/credit card transactions will incur a 3% processing fee.
