Where to sell machine tools

[Paul ThorntonParticipant @paulthornton77297]

Hello, I do not normally use this site but thought I would try it for some advice.

 

I am clearing out my workshop, sadly my job  does not allow me to play anymore. I have some machines that I would like to sell but do not know where to put them up for sale to get the best prices.

 

I thought someone on here might have the answer.

 

I have a Harrison L5 lathe will all the bits

a Manchester Rapidor power hacksaw

and an Axminster ZX25M table top lathe.

all running on single phase 240V

 

Is Ebay a good start

How about trying the “for sale” ads on here?

Or Homeworkshop

Whatever method you use, I reckon you should get some price guidelines before embarking on this process (assuming you have not already done so).

[Paul ThorntonParticipant @paulthornton77297]

Thanks, yes I do need to get some price advice first. I want to get good money but also want to sell it.

 

I will have to do some searching to see what the going rate is.

 

The Axminster ZX25M is actually a table top milling machine.

[V8EngParticipant @v8eng]

I notice there is a Harrison listed on the Latest “for sale” Ads here, sounds like the same model.

There are advertisers in ME and MEW selling used machinery.

 

As you originally suggested EBAY might well get you a good price anyway.

 

Good luck with your sales, pity I do not have any space left for a mill or power hacksaw!
