Is there a Dedicated Web Site for Buying/Selling Tools?

I'm almost embarrassed to ask this, but is there a site that's dedicated to ONLY buying/selling woodworking tools?

Obviously eBay exists, and Craigslist, but I'm looking for a site that is dedicated to woodworkers, tradespeople, etc.

I did a few Google searches and surprisingly found very little so I'm guessing I just went down the wrong path.

There have been classified advertising forums on various affinity group sites, but many have opted to close them because of abuses:

1. Participants expect a free service to allow them to make money.
2. The service becomes an access for scams, hacking, fraud.
3. The service is expected to assure the veracity of advertising claims.
4. The service is expected to resolve disputes between buyers & sellers.

If you want to enjoy a hobby, don't make it a business!

What about that Pneiderberger guy? Or Bodz Tools? I'm surprised nobody has mentioned them yet.

On the other hand, what the world REALLY needs is a "Want" site. I mean, a place where woodworkers can post ads for SPECIFIC things that they want to buy.

For example, I have two #8 Union soles, and I need frogs, cutters, lever caps, etc. Union #8s just don't come up, with cracked or broken soles. I'm hesitant to put the word out due to people who have no idea, but would answer the ad anyway. So, there would have to be trust.

This is why I scan thousands of ads weekly, Ebay, Kijiji (CL in Canada), FB Marketplace, and a dozen or so of other listing sites. It would be nice if people approached me about the things I want to buy, and they have what I'm looking for.

By the way, wilschroter, what sort of tools ARE you looking for??

So I have not heard of either of the two tool sites you list above. Do you have a web site for them?

And you mention FB market place, So I assume you are on FB.
Check out Just Plane Fun, the parts Division. I would say talk to Michael Jenks about parts for your #8 Union planes.
