Excess Stock - Robotics Equipment for Semiconductor Fab

I'm new here, an electrical engineering consultant doing some work in robotics.

I consult for a company that mainly sells chips and small electronic components but also has some old stock of Semiconductor Fab Robotics Equipment and I'm wondering the best service/forum to sell it, if it is even allowed in these groups?

We also have pneumatics equipment and I don't see any sort of group involving pneumatics.

I notice other for sale posts but I'm not sure if commercial for sale posts are allowed.

Am I allowed to post links here?

Thanks, Pete B.

=20 I would try eBay for all of the stuff you mentioned. You can get just = about anything on there these days. I just bought a bunch of parts from = a guy that was routinely throwing them away at his work place and he = decided to post them on eBay just to see if he got any takers. He got a = little cash and I got some good stuff for my projects!

Regarding this newsgroup, what I've seen others do - which I think is = acceptable - is to mention a specific product you have when it could = meet the needs of someone posting on here. And maybe have a link to your = web site at the bottom of all of your posts. Also it's not uncommon when = doing that to mention other places someone could find a similar product = if the one you offer doesn't suit their needs. Basically just don't = flood the newsgroup with spam. A one time or infrequent post with F.S. = at the front of the subject heading would be acceptable, too, from what = I gather.

Anyway, this is just my opinion, so you might want to wait and see what = some of the others on here have to say about it. The fact that you're = even asking tells me that whatever you do will probably be ok, though.

Good luck ! JCD

Thanks JCD!

We do have an ebay store, it just seems that something more specific to robots and industrial equipment might be better. e-bay seems to be hit or miss, still better than nothing.

I'm an electrical engineer and have actually used some of the robotics equipment to design a pick and place system at the company. Here's a link to a video of the system in case anyone in curious:

And the store where we have industrial equipment for robotics, machine vision, lasers, arc lamp, National Instruments PXI bus computers, and pneumatic equipment:

Thanks!
