Need help from SS Community. Want to sell Mark V 520 (w DC3300). Don't see many sale postings on this forum. Have it posted on CL. Any other idea's where I can post to increase traffic / interest? Thx

Posting items for sale on this site is a definite no-no. It's hosted by Shopsmith, which still markets complete machines and parts. This would have been in the user agreement you agreed to when signing up on the site.

About everything else Shopsmith-related is open game for postings, though.

Local newspaper classifieds
Local WoodCraft (http://www.google.com/search?q=woodcraft+store+locations&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7ADBF_en)(or similar) store bulletin board
e-bay
I think that the SSUG allows selling
Local lumber yard bulletin board
Church bulletin board
Work place bulletin board
Grocery store bulletin board

FWIW, I think that this tab513 thread is a good example of how to ask the question without breaking the rules. Will we be hearing more from you, tab513, or is this subject the only one you are interested in? In other words, if you are selling this Mark V 520, do you have other ShopSmiths? Or other woodworking equipment that will keep you coming back here? I really dislike posters (I can knot bring myself to call them "members") that only post to try to sell their stuff.

Thanks to Matt in GA and Tim.
Sad to say that I am one of those "posters". Would rather be threading about other WW topics, however, selling to pay mortgage (caught up in the "economic downturn"). My late father was indeed a Craftsman ... I believe Artist is even more appropriate. From concept to creation nothing but sketch work. Still have sheets of formica, all his hand tools, machines and wood stockpiles.

Tim thanks for the other ideas as well.
Regards,
Tom
