• 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!

The battle of the Harrisons

About phone numbers, txt, and email.

Don't be too hard on these folks. Many times stuff gets posted by the son, daughter, or friend of the fellow selling because the seller himself has no idea how to use email or txt. In the case of farm equipment, that's pretty much the rule. Quite often farmers don't even have internet let alone know how to use Kijiji.

Please allow me to add another pro tip. When you make your searches, also try to think of ways to mis-spell what you are looking for and make duplicate searches for that too. I find it amazing how many things get posted in the wrong category or as some weird thing nobody has ever heard of. A good example is plow and plough or lathe or layth or lath. The advantage of this is that you might find yourself the only buyer for something that should be selling like hot cakes and you can get a better deal without burning rubber to make sure nobody scoops it out from under you, or better yet something that has been sitting for weeks.
