G'day Max, Joe and Beech
Beech raises an interesting question about this being a 'hoax'.
To hoax is to have an intention to deceive or trick.

I don't know what the seller intended here.
He says, "you are bidding on a victa aero petrol lawnmower".

I would think the seller must have known something. One type of seller
will tell the truth; others will remain silent by offering little description,
in the hope their victim will fall for it.

In many ways, I'm the hoaxer in this story, although Max
was always on to it. In my favour, I did leave clues... grin
However, I had an intention to take the Michael.

I have reported myself to the ODK Administrator.
No conflict of interest there - nothing to see here.

Some memorable stories stick out from ODK: -

These mowers should be considered collectable.
I name them 'bitsas' - and some have shown ingenuity.

Others are just ridiculous.
In this case, the Aero has a clockwise turning motor.
Note the positioning and angle of the flywheel blades ... grin
What was the bitsameister thinking?

Another example of ridiculousness discussed on ODK:
