Free Router

Dec 27, 2011 22 Replies

I hope this isn't inappropriate but I am offering an older Bosch fixed router, model 1617, without a base for anyone who is local and wants to pick it up. If you want it shipped, shipping charges will apply.



The router works well, but only has one speed. Though, I plugged it into a separate speed control switch and it worked great.



I have no idea how old the unit is. I bought a router table top from a local seller and he gave me the router with it, but I already have two routers. Therefore, if you're interested, it's yours.


Local to where?

Oops! LOL.....sorry about that.

Northern subs of Detroit.

Oakland County.

I might be interested, for the cost of shipping, whatever it turns out to be. My zip code is 46228.

I'll weigh it tomorrow to determine the cost and reply.

I'll pay you shipping, plus 2 dollars. :-p

Maybe JT should put it on eBay for free and have people bid on the shipping costs. ;-)

I always use USPS since the majority of the time they are the cheapest. With that in mind, Priority mail in a medium flat rate box = $10.95. Parcel post = $10.34. All other options are higher.

If you have a carrier preference, let me know. You can check prices as well using my zip of 48073.

HMMM! Not a bad idea. :-)

Violates eBay's listing policy. They consider that to be evasion of their final value fees.

Honestly, though, you'll probably be better off to list it on eBay: buyers pay shipping costs anyway, and you may get ten or twenty bucks for the router in addition.

He *did* offer it for free though and you responded that you'd take it for the shipping costs. If he's ethical, he will send it to you.

My carrier of preference is the U.S. Postal Service anyway. Please contact me offline (doug at milmac dot com) so we can arrange payment and shipping.

IF? If I had feelings, that would hurt a little. ;-)

That wasn't meant as an insult, just that the lure of money does funny things to the way people act. If Doug is prepared to release you from that obligation, then I'd say you're integrity is free to do as you will.

IF Dougy had any ethics he'd sweeten the pot with a few extra bucks or let it go to the one that was wanting it more.

I do believe that JT was kidding.

I know that I was.

If *you* had any ethics, you wouldn't post here with your regular bullshit.

I didn't assume it was, thus, no problem.
