Etiquette on FS announcements on the WREC?
Any objection to the occasional for sale announcement here? I've got a couple of items gathering dust that may be useful to one of the group.

Larry The group policy is that you ship the products to me for review prior to any FS post. All liability for shipping, and any incidental disappearance of the product is borne by the shipper. Sorry - that's just the groujp policy... Don't believe it, Larry, Mike lies! PM me and I'll send you MY address, I'm supposed to do thatg Seriously, I don't recall seeing a ban on such postings if there is one. If no one points out a breach of etiquette prior to tomorrow afternoon, I would suggest going for it. A few on topic posts offering up surplus woodworking equipment/tools isn't going to kill anyone. We all post gloats from time to time and those tend to take on a life of their own with the "one upmanship" and weeping, wailing, gnashing of teeth, etc over what mighta coulda beeng Had the common sense to ask suggests that you won't wear out your welcome. |

If it leads to a lot of work that cuts into summer sailing, not so sure.G Lew |

Sonny The answer to your question title the post with FS/For Sale " what it is". If we are not interested in buying, we are not interested in reading, putting for sale in the title lets us know not to read. |

Larry Some people will thank you, others will gripe, a few will flame. Personally I have no issue with non-commercial for sale messages in the newsgroup, just put FS or FOR SALE in the subject line. -- The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.

Keep in mind this newsfeed can be seem any place that offers newsgroups
in the world. Maybe craigslist would be a better venue. Or if it is old stuff, the BYOD on Old Wood Working Machines.

Larry I scored a used Unisaw with a large sliding table right off the Rec. 30 minutes from my house, 1/2 mile from my mothers house.The FS has always been considered adequate. It is good to give your location so people don't ask stupid question & be clear the freight is on them. Also let them know who is responsible for packing if it is a larger item, or only for local pick up. Mike M |

I've never found dust useful. Others might feel differently.
