Default Score!

I have been thinking about getting an electric die cutting machine. I have good luck with my Big Shot and love my Scan 'n Cut so I have been unable to justify to myself that I NEED one. Last week I was browsing Ebay and saw a Gemini II with no bidders. Condition was listed as Good- some wear. On the last day of bidding I decided to take a chance that it worked and bid $9.99. At that price, I could buy new plates if needed. I won- I was the only bidder.

The package came today. The Gemni is brand new- the box was still sealed. I tested it out- works perfectly! The machine, plates, and cord were in individually sealed packages. All the paperwork was in there.

Then I noticed another package in the shipping box. I opened it to find brand new, sealed Crafter's Companion items- 1 stencil, 1 die, i embossing folder, 3 stamp sets, 5 stamp and die sets, 1 pad of 8 x 8 patterned paper, and 1 pad of 8 x 8 "linen" cardstock. There was no mention in the Ebay description about extras.

Best $9.99 I have ever spent.

Wow! They do come with some supplies but I don't remember it being that many-maybe it was originally a special promo! Yay for you!!! Shipping must have been a beast though?

Yes, shipping was expensive- $78.00 via Fed Ex. But the total of $88 was still a bargin.

I think it was originally a HSN sale as the turntable was included.
