Shop smith Mk 8?

Post by swampgator »

I hope this posting is not by anyone here as I don't like to hurt anyone's feelings. However, I've never heard of a Mk 8. Does it exist?:D

The seller has no clue. They also say it comes with a 5" jointer
- 1986 Mark V 500 Mini

- 1985 Mark V 510 with reversible motor, bandsaw, jointer, and double-tilt.

I offer quality motor reversal, rebuilding, and rewiring. Contact me at HarbourTools@live.com

Also his feedback as a seller isn't good. Only 80% positive and that includes most as a buyer. I'd run like hell.

"Never shipped Item, would not respond to messagers, WTF!!!"

"Never received. Guys a moron and a thief."

"Item not received should not sell on eBay."

"Bad contacting skills. Forgot item completely."

"Will not respond to emails! Does not abide by ebay rules. Not what I expected!"

Yep! He would never be considered as a decent vendor, but when I saw the Mk 8, I just about flipped. Guess it's time to do some research on Mk 8's. :D :D :D

I feel sorry for the poor guy/gal. They just have this magnificent piece of equipment that they know little or nothing about and they want to get rid of it. They have probably found a link to Shopsmith and they think they know the going price.

You know, if you check my "seller" feedback on ebay, it doesn't look good at all.

Because, I haven't sold anything.

My "buyer" feedback is stellar, though. (I'm "skskou" on ebay.)
