Is advertising used equipment for sale allowed on this newsgroup?



Thanks



LB


well, it's an un moderated group, but I think the general feeling is that if it's YOUR used equipment and not a business, it's fine.. and sometimes also a way for someone in the group to save some bucks on tools..

Please remove splinters before emailing

The charter says that commercial posts may be made but should be at least two weeks apart. Personnal "for sale" posts are just fine.

Naturally, the posts need to be woodturning related...

Hi Len is it?

I think if not abused, than advertising your used or new equipment for wood turning is a good thing for the group and also for the one trying to find a buyer for the equipment, I certainly will not complain, and there are a lot of turners that can use some less costly stuff I'm sure.

I would say yes please

Have fun and take care Leo Van Der Loo

Yes. Best to put the item name and location (for heavy items) in the subject.

Also helps if you lead your subject line with "FS:" or "For Sale:". This lets the picker users set filters. Also helps those who are shopping pick out the sale items.

Thanks to all of you that responded...ad for Jet Mini will follow.

All ads have to be submitted to me first. :o)

Generally (not necessarily in this newsgroup) it's a good idea to add some keyword in the beginning of the subject line, like

Subject: FS: Used saw

where FS: = For Sale AD: = Advertizement FA: = For auction

etc.

It can't hurt.
