Well, Facebook Marketplace seems to be the most popular for many people these days, and quite a bit of Shopsmith equipment, accessories, and parts posted one there. Craigslist is still another option, but not quite as much Shopsmith stuff is posted on there as there used to be, at least in my area. Ebay is still Ebay, but from what I've noticed lately it's a good place for pieces and parts. Not a whole lot of complete Shopsmith Mark V's or accessories as there used to be.

I'd recommend Facebook Marketplace if you have access to it, or know of someone who does.

If you post on here what you have, and some pictures; most of us could help you price what you have, or perhaps might buy or help you sell. Great group of people on this forum; helpful community of knowledgeable Shopsmith owners. Chad

I'm also looking to sell a complete machine - a model 10ER that I've had for many years, and which my father bought new (perhaps in 1949).
S/N ER-10822. It's equipped with the variable-speed changer.
Here's a photo of the machine and all the accompanying attachments / accessories:

The base is a homebuilt carrying case, with swiveling casters attached to the corners.
I've cleaned up and waxed the ways, so both the headstock and table move easily. I've run it briefly, so I know the motor works.
(Note: this needs to find another home, since I purchased a Mark V from a neighbor some years ago, and since we plan to move in the coming year and it would be silly to move both machines.)
I've cataloged all the accessories that would go along with the machine. I even have the ORIGINAL owner's guide and several issues of the "Shop Notes" newsletter.
I'm looking for any suggestions on what the entire package would be worth.
If it makes a difference, I'm just outside Boston.

Sabotier,

On the left side of your picture of your Shopsmith it has the mounting headrest and bracket for the Model 4E Jointer. The Jointer itself is not in the picture. Neither is the 5" motor pulley needed for it. Do you have that Jointer and pulley for it. The jointer was also mentioned in the other post you made for this.

Appreciate the info. I have 46 pics of all of the parts and pieces. I have put the whole package on Craigslist for $975.00. I don't know what I have however. The pics are on google photos.

The machine is a Mark V
Model 555510
Serial No. 021491
Any feedback on pricing and what I have would be much appreciated!

Pricing seems to heavily depend on your location. Some areas seem to have high numbers of Shopsmiths available so they sell at quite low prices. Other areas rarely have them for sale so when they come available, they command much higher prices.
If you live in an area where people tend to move for retirement, you likely have more Shopsmiths available, and lower prices.
Look around your area and see what other Shopsmiths are selling for. That should help you determine a number to price yours.

I still don't understand the 10E's/ER's.
