Help please selling my Mark V

Post by zboss »

I have a 1954 Mark V. I checked the serial # with Shopsmith and they confirmed the details. It's still a beauty, as you can see from the attached pictures. I've been unable to get a price range for what something like this would go for. I have all the attachments, saws, and a box of spare parts for the motor, etc. Please help!
Thank you!

Southern California. It is current in Long Beach at my Great Uncle's house who recently passed away. I live in the Pasadena area so if I cannot find a seller soon it will come up to be put in storage by me.

Check craigslist in your area. Here is one in the LA area that they are asking $400 for. I believe they will be lucky to see a Ben Franklin for it. Yours looks cleaner so you might get a little bit more, maybe $150. Now you can always ask for more.;)

I find in Florida, the Greenies go from $75 to $200 depending on the accessories, attachments and any SPTs if you really want to sale it. It depends on location, location, location of the Shopsmith like real estate.
