Please provide some info about yourself. Would help greatly to sell items here as this is your very first posting. Where are you located? Would you be able to ship? How heavy is it? What did you use it for? How about some close up shots of the tables? What type of work do you do? How would you want to be paid?
Ideally you would have been posting here for a while before attempting to sell anything. Woodworkers tend to be a trusting bunch - if they have some history with you. I have sold many tools over the years here on the FOG and at SMC but only after having 50-100 posts or so.

My name is Ron Paulk, my company is Paulk Homes LLC in Anacortes, WA. We build custom and spec homes, as well as, specializing in high end finish carpentry. The Walko 4 seemed like a good idea, but doesn't fit in our tool trailer well with all of our other tools including many Festool products. I did try to post more photos but the site wouldn't accept because of size. I took one photo cropped it and reduced it just to get it up. I do have many good hi res photos of the Walko that I can email directly upon request. The table was used on one job for about a month. It has no saw cuts in the tables or sacrificial cut strips. It is well built, but does not fit our job needs as well as we thought it would. Anacortes is in very north west Washington state so I would rather sell it to someone who can come by and pick it up. I would prefer not to hassle with packing and shipping something so large. I posted here as this is where I first learned of the Walko. I have not met a sole in our area who has every heard of the Walko, for that matter when I mention Festool, I get similar blank stairs.
I do have one good Festool story though: We finished building a high end (1 Mil+) home last Christmas. A great project that we designed and built. My lead finish carpenter, Matt was on site running job with a good 3 man crew. The job had many very detailed projects that required the highest level of finish carpenter. The finish crew was on site for over 6 weeks and Matt being very out going loving his work became a surrogate son of the owners. He was telling Bill, our client, about this cool tool he wanted called a "Domino." At Christmas, Matt, his wife and son, stopped by the clients house for a visit and left with a big wrapped box, that when opened brought a big smile to his face and forced me to buy a load of dominoes
