My father picked up a Toro Wheelhorse mower, it's a model 16-38. I don't know how old it is, probably about 5-8 yrs old, but it is literally brand new condition!
When I say brand new, I mean it has never been used. When I say never, I mean not once, has it ever mowed a lawn. There isn't a speck of dirt or dust underneath the thing. The mower is brand new, and actually has never even been mounted, let alone used.
It came with a snowblower, which again, has never been used, the paint is all perfect on it, and you can tell no snow has gone through it, not even any 'swirls' in the paint.
All the little nubs on the tires are still in tact. I should have looked at the hour meter but I didn't.
My question is, why are these so sought after? How much did they go for new?
He posted it on craigslist for 2 grand, I thought he was absolutely NUTS because he was asking so much money for it. He got an email that day from a guy that would give him 1600 for it.
I wouldn't have paid him 500 bucks for the thing!
Whats the story with these things?
