dustinsmith Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Hi guys, It pains me, but I'm moving to Los Angeles and must unload my woodshop equipment. I know I won't get any real interest from the general eBay crowd, so I'm hoping someone here will take note and give my Roubo a good home. http://www.ebay.com/itm/141490855971?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Thanks guys, Dustin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardA Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I hate it for you... Nice bench, looks like very little use... Good luck selling it that's a good price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G S Haydon Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 That's a freakin bargain! Not my flavour but top drawer. Anyone in that neck of the wood should know that for the specification it's amazing value! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric. Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Good Lord, that's like selling one of your children. Sorry for your loss dude. And a quick tip from a pro seller...add more key words in your title to increase visibility. Benchcrafted, vise, wagon, tail, leg, Gramercy, etc...I'd even add Lie Nielsen and Veritas until ebay pulls it...often they never catch it.

chrisphr Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I'm eyeballing it. About a four hour trip... Hmm. $900 no problem for a bench like this. Good luck, all the bids come in the last minute so there may be more interest than you may think. Eric has good advice, although based upon your ebay status you are already onto all the tricks...

Texfire Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I don't know if you've already thought of this, but I'd ask Highland Woodworking if they have a bulletin board I could post it on. Would be a tighter focus on local woodworkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChetlovesMer Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Are you going to be selling off your whole shop or just the roubo? I notice some festool boxes in the corner... hint, hint.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Cancelleri Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Are you going to be selling off your whole shop or just the roubo? I notice some festool boxes in the corner... hint, hint.... I was just wondering that myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustinsmith Posted December 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Are you going to be selling off your whole shop or just the roubo? I notice some festool boxes in the corner... hint, hint.... I have three Festool items on eBay now, too -- plus a bunch of other odds & ends shop stuff. But I'm not worried about those selling since Festool is so sought after on the used market. It's the Roubo that has me concerned....how do you put a price tag on a bench you spent 6 weeks building with the highest quality materials a man can buy? But if you're interested in looking it's the OF 1400 router, ETS 150/3 sander and CT 26 E dust extractor. Click the Roubo eBay link up top and then see my other auctions.

wdwerker Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I tried to go see it tonight. Had a time set up and everything, then he canceled. Said if I wanted to buy it tonight the price was $2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDave Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Well I would guess he's hoping for some bidding to start on the auction... hope you get a chance to see it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wouldwurker Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I made an offer to pick it up asap for the asking bid price. It was turned down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I offered $1600 and pick it up tonight, nope wants to play the highest bidder routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDave Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Yeah I realized after thinking about it that it was the starting bid...however without a reserve it may end up going low. 900 for that would indeed be insane...the wood alone from Bell Forest is close to that.

wdwerker Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 It has the old style vise with the peg board , not the "X" style hardware. Seems to be mostly 8/4 stock in the top. Maple costs a whole lot less than BellForrest prices around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post thewoodwhisperer Posted December 2, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 You're looking at nearly $900 in the Benchcrafted Hardware alone. Even though it's the old style hardware, it's still a proven design that works great. Add in the wood and the blood/sweat/tears/labor and I'm not sure I can blame the guy for wanting to get top dollar for the bench. I certainly hope he's not giving people the run-around, but if he's holding off to see where the bidding goes I don't think we can blame him. He didn't come here looking for an immediate buyer, he came here looking to generate bids. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mzdadoc Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Well I put my bid in. He didn't put it as a reserve auction. I may not win but for a $900 bid on a very expensive bench why not. I've got buddies who'll pick it up and one who'll drive it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
