Tool Swap/Sale

as part of our

General Meeting March 23, 2024

 

Open to

ALL members -

see details below.

This is a chance for club members to exchange and sell tools, wood, supplies, & other shop stuff and a great opportunity for members to declutter their shop.

 

For our newer members, this will be a great way for you to start your tool collections without having to break the bank.

 

Items can be brought to the March club meeting where tables will be set up for members to display their items. Please affix a tag with your name and the amount you want for each item.

 

MSWG will have no direct part in these transactions (swap or sell).

 

100% of the proceeds will go to the seller unless they feel generous and donate their proceeds to the club’s general funds.

 

Sales can be conducted (1) before the club meeting begins at 9:00 am, (2) during the break, and (3) after the second half demo is completed.

 

Everyone is encouraged to bring tools and/or supplies to sell and money to purchase items from fellow members.

 

NOTE to those selling - please bring small bills in order to make change.

 

Happy Hunting.
