This is all bad news for me as I have accumulated some machine tools that don't fit what machines I have.

A few suggestions that occurred to me are:
Sell on dedicated forums.
Sell on Nextdoor if you have it in your area.
CL in for the 3rd.
I did sell one thing a couple years ago on FB marketplace, but it took awhile. But it seems viable.

The one thing all the above have in common is cash-in-hand and no returns/non payment due to shenanigan's. All my CL deals have gone well.

And a funny note: back in my 911 active building days of the early 2000's I got burned more times buying things off Pelican For Sale. I won't buy anything where there's not a buyer's guarantee. So that brings you back to eBay. I guess it will become another Amazon constructed of tens of thousands of stores.

Thanks for the info here as I was about to list a bunch of machine parts. Anyone need any metal lathe parts?
