Sadly Model 17's aren't worth much at all, they are just a grossly underrated machine that's basically worthless in the current marketplace.
Hello
Bonnar_Bloke and all
Lawnmower Collectors.
It's about time an
alternate view is expressed to one that rates the market sale price
as the sole determiner of 'value'. It is clearly NOT! It is misguided, in my view.
The case of this
Model 17 is a good exemplar.
So, a rare 14" Model 17 sells for a couple of cartons of beer. Goodo!
The marketplace value argument is a poor one, and has resulted
in untold loss of historically valuable machines. I hope we stop using it.

Talk about
"Read em [sic] and weep"Market-mindset collectors all lost that one and arguments about
market worthlessness are total nonsense. [
Que Sera, Sera]
I hope we can stop repeating the marketplace argument and consider
the true collector - one who collects
for every reason above marketplace BS.
My respect goes to true collectors, not 'wheelers and dealers' and their small and
selfish, market-driven mindsets.
I guess I'm a dreamer - but I'm not the only one.-------------------------------
