To the knowledge of anybody on ORCHID, are there any online
classifieds for used jewelry equipment? I’ve found lots of
classifieds for jewelry pieces, but not for equipment. Any
ideas??
Two suggestions:
-
The Polygon Network has a lot of buying/selling of jeweler’s
equipment. The system requires a paid subscription of (something
like US$95.00 per month). For call 800-221-4435. -
There is a Conference (#12) on GIA-Net called ‘Marketplace’
where people buy and sell used gemological equipment.
