And people wonder why I hate buying used equipment from individuals. So many crooks out there.
When I first got to my new area I had people trying to sell me their used non running for more I could get for them. I took a pass on every one of them. And it bad enough that I can't even sell a recondition mower for a reasonable price because of all the yard sale crooks. I had one that I was trying to sell for $500 including sales taxes. The best offer I got was $125 and I had nearly $400 in new parts installed. I quit trying to recon and sale anything afterwards.
