Welcome to a outstanding forum and people.
I have a friend who has a sign company that wants to sell it to me. Roland sp540 printer and lots of artwork and software to run the printer. He wants 15k for it. I think it is a little steap. He also has established clients that I could use for future sales. It is a small town.
He has $troubles. He wants to come work for me. He wants 50% of gross. (sales-cogs) I know nothing about the sign business. He makes awnings and channel letters. Says would sign a non compete.
Any thoughts on above would be appreciated advise on prices and 50 %commission.

Sounds to me, you have someone in trouble looking to you to back their butt out of the fire.
Books, clients lists and heart to heart talks is what you need the most right now. None of that stuff is worth a dime to you, if you can't use it.... and by what you're saying already.... your friend is having trouble using it so why buy into an already problematic situation ??
Is your friend a member here ??

The machine itself is around 11k-12k including versaworks that is the rip software that comes with the printer. Around me there is 3 Roland dealers and they sell refurbished Rolands sp540 for 11k including some warranty. Now i would rather buy from them than a person selling it who has troubles making any money with it. It is a great printer to start with and it is better if you buy it for yourself, learn how to use it and make good money without splitting with anyone.

By the way, love your choice of names... halfbaked! :ROFLMAO:
Sounds like you need a little more time in the oven just to get to halfbaked, more à propos might have been rawdough.
Not that there's anything wrong with that... in fact i love raw cookie dough.
Come to think of it... maybe your friend does too.... i think he's about to gobble you up.
I really should wait to find out if your friend is a remember here before posting this.... but the submit button is right there.... i can see it and i like pushing buttons. naaa i can resist, and be patient.

Heads up man, get a printer with a warranty, especially if your just starting out. $$$hit happens.

and by the way, i like your name, i like that you are straight up about not having experience and i admire your enthusiasm. but i'm also worried your friend doesn't have your best interest at heart.
sorry if i sounded rude, i often forget that i'm not as funny as i think i am.
