Suggested Sticky: Tell Me How Much My Shopsmith Is Worth And Where I Can Sell It"
Posted: Tue Jan 18, 2022 1:56 pm
Maybe I'm grouchier than most members, but I'm soooo tired of people who drop in and their first and usually only post has to do with figuring out how much their Shopsmith is worth and trying to sell it here.
So, I am recommending our admins create a new top-of-the-Community-Forum sticky titled, "Tell Me How Much Shopsmith Is Worth and Where I Can Sell It?"
Upon opening the sticky it could say something like:
"1. The Shopsmith Forum does not offer opinions on the resale value of Shopsmith equipment. It quite simply depends on too many variables, including without limitation, what is being offered, its condition, where it is located (some markets have a large supply and little demand, other markets have little supply and a large demand), and general market conditions that can and do change.
"2. It is not appropriate to list equipment for sale on the Shopsmith Forum on behalf of yourself or others. If you wish to sell your Shopsmith equipment, we suggest you list it on your local Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, ebay or in a classified ad in your local paper.
"3. While there is a standing thread in the Community Forum called 'Bargain Available' where members are allowed to post links to ads they have seen for Shopsmith equipment that does not belong to them, what constitutes a 'bargain' is entirely in the eye of the beholder."
The topic would be "Closed" so that comments could not be added.
