FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
WHAT IS THIS PLACE?
I once ran a machining shop, but closed it down to return to machining as a hobby. I have a lot of tools to keep up with my crazy pastime, and this website (which looks a lot like a store, but isn't) is a convenient way of showing what I have for sale/trade without having to manage individual ads on local classifieds (e.g. kijiji or facebook marketplace.)
WILL YOU SHIP ITEMS TO ME?
Yes! I can ship products to anywhere in the world and I get pretty good discounts with UPS, Purolator, and Canada Post too.
Please provide your Full Name, Address including postal code, Telephone Number, and Email address (all mandatory fields for shipping), and I will quote you on the cost to ship whatever item(s) you are interested in.
CAN I PICK UP THE ITEM?
Yes! You are welcome to drop by to pick up your items in person. Let me know when you would like to visit. You can pay in advance, or cash on pickup at your option.
Contact me to arrange pickup.
DO YOU DELIVER?
Yes! By UPS, Purolator, or Canada Post! See "Will you ship items to me" for more details.
WHAT ARE YOUR HOURS? WHEN ARE YOU OPEN?
I am not a store. I don't have "Open Hours". I am usually available and don't mind visitors between 9am to 9pm, 7 days a week, but please contact me in advance. Don't just show up. That's not cool.
DO ITEMS COME WITH A QUALITY GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY?
No. I am not a retailer. I'm a hobbyist who buys/sells/trades surplus tools.
​
I do my best to evaluate and describe items to set proper expectations. If an item is in new condition, I will describe it as New, or "New Old Stock". Otherwise, the item is used and can range in condition from excellent, to good, to fair, to salvagable. If a product isn't useable or at least salvagable, I will scrap it rather than sell it.
All my items are sold AS-IS. I encourage you to evaluate each item, compare prices, and and ask questions before you commit to buying. I am happy to answer your questions, and I will always be truthful.
WHAT ARE MY PAYMENT OPTIONS?
I can accept eTransfer or cash at time of pickup.
Occasionally, I accept trades for tools I actually want to use, so if you have something to trade and it is on my wishlist, feel free to make an offer.
