One high arch I got last night apparently had an argument with a backhoe and the backhoe won, base is a bit of a mess so it doesn't bother me about throwing it out.

Another thing with alloy bases is sandy soil actually erodes them from within. I used to notice the inside of the late 70s Mustang my dad used for odd mowing jobs would always have a clean silver finish from all the sand blasting going on inside. Even then, I was concerned about this on the soft metal and thought a steel deck would be better suited to those conditions.
My fears were confirmed when I saw as online picture of an alloy base hi arch Victa from the same era where years of this sand blasting effect had made long thin openings all along the base like a knife.

I think he might struggle to get this sort of money for it.

He wants that sort of stupid money and the best he can do is take a photo of a phone laying on a table with an image displayed on it ????

Oh my God, what is this new generation coming to ??

I've included the photo below from the "actual listing" as the link Norm has provided will no doubt expire after many months with no one buying it at a ridiculous $2000 figure.

G'day all, this is an attempt at artistic licence ... The Queens are a
mower fit for royalty. I agree, photos of the actual mower are essential
for the asking price.

I might add, the catcher colour is clearly incorrect for this machine.
Why would anyone do that?
