• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

This is funny stuff. Every one please post your favorite kijiji horror stories in written form here. I have 2 good ones but in not going first. Bonus points for kijiji deal related violence or threats. I told you mine were good :D
 
I was in Edmonton for other reasons but took the chance to buy a pair of power shears for $10. Great deal. I get to the guys house in Beaumont and you can tell he's a hoarder. He has a storage container in the front driveway and a old van filled with stuff. Before I even get to the door I'm wondering... So he says the shears are in the garage and opening the door will take 4 and a half minutes. Exactly.

Ok the electric door motor is balky and you can hear it whining away while he hammers on the remote over and over. I wonder how he can stand it and then the door opens. It's a wall of stuff. You can't walk in. The cars are covered and piled with junk to the roof. He can't fix the opener cause you can hardly see it. He's got 350+ items listed on Kijiji...
