Selling tools on here.

[mattsutton29]

Hi just a quick question. I joined a week or two ago and I was wondering on the rules for selling surplus tools. How do I go about it please? Thanks in advance

You need 20 posts iirc and posts made just to bump the number are likely to be taken down.

Hi

There is a sticky post at the top of the For Sale forum which should have all the information you need.

 

[mattsutton29]

Ok thanks.

 

[thetyreman]

just keep posting stuff, you'll soon come up with 20 then you can sell.

 

[mattsutton29]

Will do tyreman. Thanks

Quickest way is to ask to join the general chat, controversial topics bit of the forum and start an argument. 20 posts in no time at all.

Or start a discussion on the best way to sharpen a chisel ...

Or on climate change....

Or better still, how to sharpen a chisel during various climate catastrophes. Flood, drought etc. After all, you wouldn't want to risk sparks off a grinder with a lawn like mine right now.

The requirement is 25 posts. You are correct about the last part.

Obviously during a flood the grinder would risk electrocution and oil based sharpening will cause pollution. Do diamond cards float, if so they could be lost.

sharpening threads are good too

Dropping your now super sharp chisel while escaping the floods in an inflatable boat....what's that psssst noise? Why are my ankles wet? Oh.....

Note 1. There is no such thing as an inflatable boat. When it's not inflated it's not a boat, when it is inflated, and therefore a boat, its no longer inflatable. What you might have though is a deflatable boat.

Note 2. Never chop wood in a rubber boat.

I think the Op has to get 25 posts not the gas bags posting on here!!!

Fair enough. You probably mean me. Adieu.

Enjoy your quiet time.

 

[Jameshow]

Me too!!!!

A discussion on how to reach the 25 posts you need would likely get you to where you need to be

 

[mattsutton29]

That’s true. But I don’t think it will take to long just wondering if the same rules apply to swaps rather than actual sales. As I’m a big fan of a bit of bartering??

Now that will be a lifetimes work to answer, and everyone will have a subtly different take on it
