You can post for sale notices with local quilt guilds and at quilt shops, too. Also, House of Hanson has long arms for sale, not sure if they charge a fee. Google "longarm +sale" and you will see House of Hanson, Longarm University, and others selling longarms. Then you'll have a list to post to. Good luck. The most difficult part of buying and selling a longarm is location. Both parties have to be within a day's drive of each other. And if the table is long, the buyer may have to rent a UHaul truck to get it home. That means they can't come alone because they'll need someone to drive their car back home. Expect to give a new buyer a morning of lessons and help disassemble it. Also advise your buyer to take photos during the disassembly so they can refer to later. If the buyer is unsure if they can get the table into the house, tell them to make a cardboard mock up of the table and see if they can get it around the corners and up the stairs, etc. without bending it. They need to take into account the thickness of the table, too if it has brackets welded underneath it for support. Call the company and see if they can tell you what the machine is worth today, based on it's age. I know Gammill does that. Good luck!
