makes sense to me. between the mark 7 and the powerpro they have an interesting competitor. Their prices for the basic assembly seem pretty high (as do the accessories), so it will be interesting to see if this happpens and how people respond.SDSSmith wrote:http://boise.ebayclassifieds.com/sales-biz-dev/boise/shopsmith-sales-representative/?ad=7796841&msg=OUT_OF_AREA

Its interesting because Boise and the surrounding areas are largely rural, and therefore you often have the space and opportunity to have various larger seperate tools. The main selling point then becomes the fact that the highly controllable motor and sharing of setup across multiple operations perhaps.

Being a skeptic I wonder if the ad is legit and would check directly with HQ.
Regional Director? Ad posted 12/10 with phone calls beginning 11/22. What big box home improvement center is headquartered in Boise? Not Lowes or HD. Is their really a Shopsmith Home Improvement Center Division? Is it new? Maybe that is the group that sets up demo's in malls or something.

Looking at the logo
I do not see the registered trademark symbol on the SS logo in the ad. Shopsmith has a reputation to protect its TM, so it looks suspicious to me.

I noted that it was posted by an "unregistered user"... Shopsmith Inc. had an Ebay ID and was using it a while back when they were cleaning out a lot of old stock. I bought several items from them then which were shipped from the factory in Dayton. Ebay doesn't normally cancel your ID just for being inactive for some time.
I would really sneak up on that one carefully...

From the ad:
http://myhomeworkshop.com/bronconation.html
The "about us" link http://myhomeworkshop.com/aboutus.html indicates that the site is for a tool business with at least one partner (owner, whatever) with a 25 year history of demonstrating Shopsmith tools. Doesn't look like this is Shopsmith itself looking to hire but perhaps a reseller is looking to handle SS stuff.

Searching Google for that phone number gets a hit on the following page with the same number near the bottom, after all the photographs:
Phone Interviews will begin 11/22
If you meet and/or exceed the minimum requirements resumes can be sent to the posted e-mail address
or you can phone Regional Director @ 208 761-8288 and leave name, phone number, brief description of qualifications
