I am today new to Precious Plastics and I thought I had found a localish machine shop where I could buy the machines because I am not able to build them myself. The Precious Plastics V4 Sheet Press is priced at AU$17,710.00 and the Precious Plastic V4 Shredder is priced at AU$9,570.00. It cant possibly cost that kind of money to build these machines! I am beginning to feel that some people are here to just rip off a good system.

If you consider the material cost + the hours, these prices doesn’t seem too crazy to me (mostly considering AU humanhours are probably not cheap). The shredder material costed around 2000€ when we designed the V4 version in 2019, since most of these material almost doubled, so probably around 5000 to 6500 AU$ for the material alone currently, to that you can add 1 to 2 weeks of work. If the machine shop is not able to build these machine is little series, it would be hard to optimise its prices.
