In our family, I have been designated as "Official Lawn Mower Buyer" for the entire clan. They think I have some sort of magic formula for finding good used mowers....Well... I do.

I have a couple dealers I work with. About this time of the year, and on into summer, they get deluged with trade-ins. Some are from people who just HAVE to have a new mower every couple years. They get some good ones in, with little invested in them. I offer to take them at the trade value, and "help" keep the dealers inventory down. They don't have to service and/or store them that way. I've bought some really good mowers for $.50 on the dollar of what they COULD sell for that way.

Find a dealer that looks loaded down, and offer to buy one at trade-in price.... Can't hurt. (SOME dealers don't want a big inventory of used mowers... They "compete" with their efforts to sell NEW at full price. They'd rather just send 'em on down the line as quick as possible)
