Has anyone noticed people with a nice house and car with old clapped out mowers.
I know of one such case where the family has a flash looking modern two storey home and three late model BMWs that obtained a bitsa four stroke Victa with a crudely hand brushed deck cobbled together by a guy across the street for about $130.
It works well, but is not a machine that would exactly impress the neighbours with its looks.
When I sold a few mowers on eBay in the days it was worthwhile and attracted decent prices, I was surprised at the cars some buyers turned up in to collect what was a pretty ordinary machine at times ( sold on the cheap of course).
Has anyone else seen this pattern?
