I've never looked for mowers in those types of areas MM ,the Median House price in Toorak is $5,190,000 ,I always find those areas the people will mostly pay someone to take the rubbish away or pay someone to cut the grass.

When I picked up hard rubbish mowers I would find a lot of late model mowers some 3 years old that just needed a spark plug
or an air filter clean , all the mowers on the rack I paid for them, except the Victa 24. I would sell the later model mowers and
buy / keep the vintage harder to find mowers.

I guess I've never searched areas like Norm gets mowers from as I've never heard of so many straight fueled 2 strokes ,I've picked
up a few hundred over the years and only had about 5 straight fueled 2 strokes.

A lot of the time I didn't bother looking for mowers for free as there were a lot of tip shops selling mowers for $10 each.Even
when mower shops closed down they would sell old mowers dirt cheap.
