The mower that I thought was one of Norm's was painted his distinct green ,haven't seen anyone else paint mowers that green.
Yes I didn't think the seller would get his price any time soon and have seen the same thing happen with mowers I've sold but sometimes on eBay I do see some get $50. more .
I've had a couple come back that were straight fueled , the owners deny it , but it's easy to tell ,the fuel isn't the right colour for 2 stroke mix also doesn't feel like there is oil in the fuel when you rub the fuel between your fingers and the rubber primer bubble becomes very soft when straight fueled.
Both cases I told them they were straight fueled ,then fitted free engines and changed the fuel.
The funny thing is people asking how old the mower is and will only buy if it's 3 years old ,lots of times I've sold 2 mowers at the same time ,one looks new but has done a lot of work the other is older but is hardly used and they all take the newer looking mower.
The new RYOBI mower ad is poking fun at petrol mowers comparing them to dinosaurs.
