General

I want to sell my older Shopsmith, how can I find out the value?
Because there is no “Blue Book Value” to go by, we suggest customers wanting to sell units offer them at the price they paid. We can tell you that the Shopsmith MARK V seems to hold it's value extremely well and there is a large market for pre-owned Shopsmith equipment.

You may also want to consider looking on eBay or other online auction sites to see what people are asking/offering for unites.

Another suggestion is to contact the Shopsmith Users Group, they may be able to offer you other suggestions. OR Contact
Battles Hardware & Tool Company. They have been known to purchase older Shopsmith equipment.
