• 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!

Only questions and answers directly related to the item(s) are allowed. Any other comments on classified posts will be deleted.

Please post pictures of your item.

No "HOLDS". No dependent offers tying up the sale. Until you make the firm offer and the seller accepts anyone else can scoop you. After the seller accepts, it's a done deal.

No auctions - we're not ebay and we don't want hard feelings.

Location. Please state in your ad where you are located, if the sale is for local buyers only, and specify that you are willing to ship or are NOT willing to ship.

If you are interested in buying you can post as a courtesy "PM sent" and have your discussion with the purchaser via PM.
PM sent is not a "HOLD" see above. No holds. If it's a popular item there could be more than one "PM sent".

The classified section is a forum courtesy. If we get drama on it the moderators will delete the classified section.

If further discussion or questions are required please post it in the Rules section of the forum.

Please post when the item is sold.

There has been some concerns about how people should write an ad and what content should be in it. There are no rules about that. This is on purpose - write the ad the way you want and deal with your buyers as you feel comfortable. If you don't like what you see - you don't have to reply! Please don't reply. We also have a feature where you can click on a user and pick "Ignore". Try that instead.

You know how some people are really annoyed by questions like "is it still for sale?" yes it's for sale or it wouldn't be an ad now would it? Or - why didn't you post the price? No. That's not it - buyers ask seemingly dumb questions because they are trying to get a read on the seller. I don't even think it's a conscious decision. They all want to know is this somebody I can deal with or are they a total twat? I have a friend who calls them Kijidiots. I'm sure you know what I mean. So there are no rules so the seller can deal with buyers in the way they prefer.
