   We can do all of that right now. Problem is - nobody seems to frequent the listings. Of all of the forums I frequent - these have the lamest for sale ads for some reason. Doesn't make much sense - we probably have a greater share of tool hounds here...

   It's a shame that's the case, cause some of the tools I have to sell are not necessarily of interest to the woodworking crowd (other forums)

   I've just stuck to craigslist. In the last 3 days, I've sold an aircompressor, a 3000watt generator and a Delta mortiser machine. It's free, although full of tire kickers.

   You can get tools from these guys when you pry their cold, dead hands off the handle.

   heh heh That's what I was thinking.

   Sell a tool?

   be what sacrilege. Now trading...well that's a different storyAt Cambridge College the mere rent of a student's room, which is only a little larger than my own, is thirty dollars each year, though the corporation had the advantage of building thirty-two side by side and under one roof, and the occupant suffers the inconvenience of many and noisy neighbors, and perhaps a residence in the fourth story. I cannot but think that if we had more true wisdom in these respects, not only less education would be needed, because, forsooth, more would already have been acquired, but the pecuniary expense of getting an education would in a great measure vanish.-Thoreau's Walden

   Well, trading is really what's happening - you are correct.The only reason I sold the generator was cause I bought a larger Honda. Sold the compressor cause I bought another and sold the mortiser cause I bought a Domino...JT

   heh heh

   and I'm eyeing the router table setup.Before I finished my house, wishing to earn ten or twelve dollars by some honest and agreeable method, in order to meet my unusual expenses, I planted about two acres and a half of light and sandy soil near it chiefly with beans, but also a small part with potatoes, corn, peas, and turnips. The whole lot contains eleven acres, mostly growing up to pines and hickories, and was sold the preceding season for eight dollars and eight cents an acre.-Thoreau's Walden

   Maybe a wife or a kid, but a tool?
