Dropped $95 on a Kwikprint stamping machine at an estate sale in Akron, and it paid for itself by Christmas
I almost walked past it because the heating element looked shot, but the seller swore it worked and I figured worst case I was out the money. Turned out the thermostat just needed a good cleaning, and I stamped initials on 40 journals that fall at $12 a pop for folks at my church. My old hand sets are still in the drawer, but I only pull them out for tiny runs now. Curious what you all use for gold foil on spines, because that is the one thing this machine still fights me on.
