• 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!

And friends ask why I won’t sell my Bridgeport. Don’t even want to guess what it would cost me here in Alberta to replace it.

You have to remember one thing, it's for sale, that does not mean sold. As an example looking at high efficiency used furnaces. Here's one barely used $2300....here's another $500, wonder which one sells:D

I'm located in Ontario, at some point years ago I enquired about installation of a used gas furnace and was told it was not possible because it was illegal to install a used furnace and no licensed gas fitter would do it. This might have been complete nonsense but that is what I was told.

Anyone know if this is true or false?

I know that's not the case in Alberta however, rules seem to vary depending on municipality and then also what the funace man tells you is not always the truth. Out here I think there are alot if good used furnaces for sale by furnace men that took them out of other homes for some reason or another.
 
My garage furnace was a used one from Fagan‘s here in Calgary I think it was $400/500 installed

False, at least here in the land of freedom. My SIL is a Red Seal gasfitter.
A furnace gets replaced often after a addition to the home which calls for more capacity, also the Plumbing co's offer new furnace Ac, and water heater as a package deal sale during hot weaather and everyone jumps on getting something "free"
