Way cheaper to find a broken mower.

They're constantly sold dirt cheap in my area with very minor problems, like old gas. People don't know how to fix it, so they buy a new one and sell the old.

I bought four working mowers. $500, $250, $220, and $200. One was missing a deck, one was running rough. Otherwise complete.

They're all craftsman, one vintage from the 80s.

We use one to mow, one to move the trailer, the old one mows but it mostly sits, and the last was a gift for my wonderful neighbors who are old and were still using a walk behind.

That's how I buy snow blowers where the fix is usually clean the carb jet or replace it for 20 bucks.
