Hi Vm ,I've seen 7 to 10 ,Pope mowers from fifties to seventies advertised online in the past 12 months.

About 4 rotary valve Pope mowers ,some in NSW and QLD, even a first model was for sale in QLD.

There were 2 mowers on eBay a while ago selling together for $20. ,one was the second model VC Victa and the other was a seventies Pope,
the victa was running and not one bid , the Pope looked a clean mower ,after a week the seller removed the ad.

One Pope was for sale in Tasmania and I put the pics here https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/u...sponse-cleavers-hardware.html#Post115357

The 3 metal base rotary valve Pope mowers I saw for sale were around 50 to $60 .

They were for sale for weeks also at the same time a rotary valve engine was for sale but at the same price as the
complete mowers.

All these Pope mowers were on eBay ,Gumtree and Face Book Marketplace and the first model was selling on a Vintage mower site.

The last 2 Rotary valve mowers I bought , not that long ago were under $100 and I was the only bidder, the first one
came with another mower that I fixed and sold for more than what I had paid for the 2 mowers, so one was free.

The next one is the clean one that I put a video on youtube showing it running but I do wonder if I advertised
that mower for $50 . how many weeks it would take to sell , no one is interested in old 2 stroke mowers in my area ,I have sold a couple
Gold Edition "Celebrating Six Million Mowers" victa mowers for $60 .each, serviced and clean running mowers.They cost $2. each.and
took a few weeks to sell at $60.

Any Pope that is not a rotary Valve mower ,I would pay $10 to $30. tops ,I've seen people online advertise them for free.

Yesterday there was a free Victa rear clip on side discharge cover advertised on gumtree.

I don't usually sell 2 stroke mowers as I get offers for $20. for a mower that's just has a service, it's quicker
and easier to sell the alloy base for $7.50 in scrap.

I've bought a few old mowers from a guy not far from me ,he will sell any old mower for $30. ,Pace ,Pope ,Villiers ,Victa ,Villager etc.

If I go to a scrap yard the same mowers are $10 to $15. , seen a lot sell for $2. to $5. on ebay because the seller only gets one bid.



Cheers
Max.
