Mile down the road from me is a retired farmer type that has dozens of implements in his front yard for sale. This ranges from a couple of old tractors, to a street sweeper!!
He has two brand new 6 foot boxblades. He says the brand is unknown. He "tinkers" buying/selling things in his retirement. He wants $280 for one of them, but since I'm a neighbor and if I want it "today", he'll give it to me for $275 (I couldn't help but to chuckle inside).
So, unknown brand, under $300, brand new 6 foot, 5 scarifiers if I recall.
I'm tinkering with cutting back driveway and grading in back of house with Brutus and boxblade would be handy.
Do I:
Buy it and if it breaks who cares...
-or-
Presume he might be buying them retail and upping the price on unsuspecting (and ignorant) passer buyer like me, therefore, (me) check around some of the local places and see what they have?
After all, if I buy it "TODAY", I save $5.00!!! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
