Shopsmith Forums

Hello,
I'm sorry if this is not the correct forum. My father passed a couple of years ago. He was 98 and very active. He loved wood working. He made many items for his and our homes. He used a ShopSmith Mark V. He always cleaned, maintained, and looked after it. It has a couple of sanders, (I think, 4" and 1"), band saw with its own motor and stand, a planer, extra saws, and items that I have no idea what they are and for. My question, it there a site where I can possibly list this for sale for my mom? The person would have to purchase and PU themselves. We can't ship. I wouldn't even know how to begin. The Mark V is located in Temecula, California. Any suggestions would be certainly appreciated. Thank you!

I'm sorry for your loss.

You can't sell on this site, but Craig's List, Ebay (you can specify local pickup only), and Facebook Marketplace are all good candidates. The picture you posted is called the Strip Sander. Your larger sander is likely 6". If you want to post pictures we can help identify what you have, what goes with what, and probably make suggestions on pricing. There are three major versions of Mark V, and which version it is has a lot to do with its value on the used market. Generally you will get more money if you sell the major accessories separately, but it will likely sell faster all together.

Good luck
