Hi Norm,
If I ever wanted good mowers or 2 stroke equipment in large numbers to sell I'd go on the council websites and see when their
collection for hard rubbish is and take a trailer ,you'd end up getting a few trailer loads in 4 hours.
I don't understand why they throw some items out unless it's because it's been used once to get the place ready to sell then
they get a few million and just throw the tools out ,I picked up the Pole Saw still in it's box looked like it was barely used.
Most of the items in the pics looked new when I got them from hard rubbish but some have been used a lot now ,I find
new looking chainsaws and the safety chain brake is on and I think maybe they thew it out because they didn't know
how to unlock the brake .
On the flip side of being near some expensive areas you can't sell much second hand equipment , years ago I had people travel
4 hours away to pickup mowers ,now I would only get that if it's a rare bit of equipment they can't get anywhere else.
It's a disposable society these days , the rich get richer ,a lot of people are on $1000. for an hour to an hour and a half.
The dentists charge $1000 . for 1 and 1/2 hours.
