Thank you , fellas, for your interest and advice. Much appreciated.

Regarding the pics I believe I've been going wrong  by not clicking "more attachments".  I'll have another go.

I did mention my membership of a UK shaving forum.  I've been registered there since 2016 and spent much time and many English pounds within their walls. In the same way you blokes will have extensive collections of multi-tools the members in that forum (which is called  atgshaving.com ) will have done much the same - and that includes me too.        atg meaning "against the grain" of course   (those of you with beards might not recognize or remember that 'against the grain' is to shave against the direction of facial hair growth ... but you knew that.  But if anyone cares to look there they would see, if they scroll right down towards the bottom, a sub section called "recreation, hobbies and interests" and a topic named Multitools and in there (at the end of the thread) is my brief reference to the Juice and one or two replies.

There's mention of pricing too. Having seen the poor condition of Juices available for sale in the US and the remarkable prices being asked it seems that Juices are commanding very respectable prices at the moment - and especially those in the condition that mine is in. It was bought new by me, it is immaculate and comes with a Leatherman branded case plus another, new, Leatherman case therefore I think £100 UKP is fair given that includes 1 to 2 day courier delivery to the UK.

Anyway, further thanks for your combined assistance and advice. Very much appreciated.


Welcome Stan, since you have figured out a price and how to post pics time to open a For Sale thread in the appropriate forum. You can stipulate a UK sale only if you want to or open up the market to Europe as well if you don't want to go worldwide.

That's extremely kind, SteveC.

In all honesty I wouldn't have taken the liberty of placing a listing in the For Sale thread, and wasn't going to ask permission in view of my obvious lack of history.  I did, primarily, post in order to seek advice  to see if there were sites along the lines of Ebay wherein I could have shown it for sale .... however I shall look towards the facility that you point me toward and see if my limited I.T. capabilities will permit me to formulate some sort of a showing.

If the item does sell successfully in the UK I would be pleased to contribute the equivalent of Ebay's fees to the site if there such a facility to do so. I would seek further advice in that regard in due course.

I just had a quick look and the cost to post from UK to, say, USA seems to be in the region of £30 UKP. Realistically I'd say this rules out that option, especially with the current proximity to Christmas plus the Royal Mail industrial action currently taking place (at the moment parcels sent from UK to UK are taking far longer than usual and I would be fearful to send an item across the water in these difficult times.  I would, however, be confident in using someone like DPD or UPS to send to the UK, indeed I have, recently found DPD to be pretty good at delivering within a day or two of drop off at my local drop off point.

May I ask what the conventional wisdom is when it comes to offering and posting the item versus the receipt of funds?

With further thanks. :tu:

You can post in the Sale Sub Forum with pics, price and what types of payment you take :cheers: It will be between you and the buyer for the details :salute:

Also, if the sale goes through well it is always nice to donate just a small amount back to the forum :salute:

Received & understood - incl. the mention of a donation (I did speak of that the above post as well, ta)

Listing in FOR SALE complete and, hopefully, satisfactory.  I'm no expert in matters of computers. In fact I'm no expert in anything    :(

Though I'd not swoop one out from under Tasky's nose...
Well, I certainly appreciate your honourable conduct, sir...

Unfortunately the asking price is a bit beyond my limit, and I'd not be needing either of the cases, so feel free to swoop like y Ddraig Goch!

I am grateful for the assistance and advice offered to a newbie here in connection with the Juice XE6.

Hopefully it will be seen that I've followed the recommendations and offered the thing for sale in the manner suggested.

However the silence is .... well it's hardly deafening but it's not exactly overwhelming either so I feel the the time will surely come when I must accept it's not gonna sell and will withdraw gracefully.

I'll leave it a bit longer and then return to say the last rites.

Ta all.

You have been more than forthcoming and doing the right thing  :salute:

I have a CS4 and rarely use it (just a bit too small and fiddly for me  :dunno:)

As another has said - I wouldn't need the case and it's just a bit too much for me  :-\

I wish you awl the best with your sale  :tu:
Merry Christmas  :drink: :drink: :drink:

It might could also be due to the fact that it is so close to Christmas and many don't have the extra funds at the moment :salute:

Our For Sale Sub Forum is back and forth, sometimes slow and sometimes very busy :salute: So, you might want to wait it out a bit longer as some don't visit there as often as other places in the forum either :cheers:

All received and fully understood.

In truth, I've owned it all this time and neither used it nor felt the need to sell it so I can hardly say I'm in a rush to do anything - and it's not as though I need to remove from sale here in order to put it up for grabs somewhere else.

So, yes, you're right ... sit tight, forget about it and it'll do no harm sitting in it's resting place minding its own business.  :)

+1 on waiting it out. Someone will come around and grab it eventually.
