I was looking at that same exmark the other day i believe... lol! That and a number of Scag walk behinds. It irks me that the ppl selling them repaint the machines and completely degrease everything and then either armorall the whole mower or take the pics when it's wet so it always looks so "shiney and new" Then the discription always reads "Engine perfect, starts one pull and no smoke, no oil leaks at all, hydros are perfect, track perfect, no leaks of any kind" IF it's sooooooooooo perfect, why the f are you selling it for $1,600????? It's a $4,000 machine, If it's soooo perfect, wouldn't it really be worth more than that? I think for the 1400 to 1800 I saw some of them going for, all "but it now" 48" to 72" hydro walks, they all looked almost new, but i'm going to bet they are a lot rougher in person. Not to mention I'd bet money that after an hours use the leaks would spring up!
I always am HONEST when I list stuff for sale on ebay, likely this is why I don't always SELL the items... I actually list any problems, what's been fixed, or what may need to be fixed...
I see one guy on there that is always selling a few ztr's and walkers. In his description he says "failed business opportunity, must get out of the business" or something to that effect. Its a crock of BS, you can look at his selling history and SEE that he buys, fixes up (cleans and slaps some paint on), and then sells to suckers on ebay telling how he's been the owner and user of said equipment.
One thing I do notice on ebay... There are more mowers selling from the state of PA than all others combined! What's the deal? Is the green industry that huge there??? My Exmark I bought 2 years ago came from PA. Weird...
