I have enjoyed repairing and building cues but have decided to sell what I have as I am looking to downsize my home and no longer want a fixed workbench / shop. I have a few questions for the forum,

- best way to sell my Porper Model B?

- recommendation for a smaller lathe that I can continue to do maintenance and tip replacement on my own cues. Preferably one I can store in a closet when not using.

- best way to sell all of the miscellaneous equipment & supplies I have accumulated over the years, carbide sanding mandrel, joint pins, wrap magic and assorted pieces of leather, miscellaneous wood blocks and shafts, etc...

Thanks in advance for the advice

Probably could have had most of it sold with the post you made with slightly different text. Itemize, post a photo, post a price and say goodbye. If the price is too high adjust as needed.

You can do your own maintenance with a cordless drill and a driver.
 
Thanks, I am more concerned about how to sell the Porper Model B because of the weight. It would be very difficult to ship.

I appreciate the advice on the smaller items that I can easily ship. I'll put together some pictures and postings over the next few weeks.

Offer it locally. These lathes are in demand you can probably draw from a 3-4 hundred mile radius.

Im interested in some tooling and accessories, probably some wood to if you have a few nicely figured pieces. Thanks

Shipping isn't bad, FedEx ground will run $200, I can help you figure out the packing. I have shipped at least a dozen cue lathes and have it down cold now

Also, PM sent with my number, would love to work out a deal on a nice model B

Haven't seen you in a long time sir
