Model machines for sale

Not open for further replies.
Apologizing if this was already answered but can you tell the story of how you got in possession of 1 Byrnes table saw and 2 thickness sanders? There was something here about an old modeler friend but are there any details?
 
Let's see if I can deflate this a bit. I know of two people who were able to contact Donna Byrnes directly and order machines from her (and have now received those machines). The website has not been made operational again, but I suspect Donna is no webmaster. It would make sense to me that they are merely testing out their new production processes right now before offering everything online again.

FYI I was lucky to get the full portfolio of Jim's tools before his untimely death. They are marvelous. But at the end of the day, they are just a small table saw, a small thickness sander, and a small disc sander. There is nothing magical about them and for our simple needs it hardly seems necessary to be taken in by whatever we might call what is happening here (predatory selling? gouging? profiteering?). Yes, a saw sold for $4250 on eBay but it was a bidding war between two people who apparently got caught up in the moment. I watched the last five minutes of that sale. It was at $800 until things went crazy.

Let's make good choices here friends!

I also agree with you. I’m not trying to get rich off these things, but brand new with shipping it’s gonna cost you $16-$1700 to buy them and we bought these years ago and prices of everything have gone up so if Donna does put them back on the market, you can almost guarantee that they’re probably gonna be three to $400 more expensive than they were back then so that’s putting them close to 2000 2200. I’m not asking an unfair price not to Mention it comes down every accessory in the book plus some

In post #3 you stated they were given to you by a friend now you're saying "we bought these years ago". Which is it. Or is this just a case of semantics?

Sorry to say that as a young male, if that is you in the photo, it is very uncommon to need a cholecystectomy ( gall bladder removal) and even if you did it would have been done laparoscopically. And would be able to open a box and lift a weight as not abdominal muscles are cut. Perhaps a photo of your surgical wounds may convince me otherwise.
All this means that you are probably finding it difficult to be truthful in your proposal of selling these machines.
Your entire thread and presentation is at best clumsy but at worst deceitful, and either way highly unlikely to get anyone to consider parting with any money for what you are supposedly offering.
I would politely ask that you take your business elsewhere.
The community on this forum are not fools and we prefer to talk about ship modeling.
Good bye

Yeah, we still have how much everything cost them to begin with I can’t lift things especially 40 to 50 pounds I could but it’s just not worth it to me

And you know honestly, even if these don’t sell and they go back in my garage I’m never gonna use these items ever. I don’t know nothing about them really anything I’m not a wood worker I’m a landscaper. So whatever happens happens.

And also master surgery, getter this procedure hurt me like hell and I was scared to go in the operating room and on top of that I hope I never have another one and another even better thing on top of that as I live in America, where I have a cell phone so if anybody was actually serious on this website was like hey man, I wanna actually see your items. I also own an iPhone so I can video chat.

LOL....yeah, this looks like a gentleman that I want to send $3k.....boys, if you want a Byrnes saw, reach out to Donna and she will get you one. It will take a few weeks, and it's not as professional as ordering from Amazon...but Donna is honest and you will get your saw......
