Dont you just love 'the other guy', and 'I got a better offer from...'. Well if you got a better offer then why didn't you take it?!

I really wish people would stop thinking the rest of us are stupid!!!!!!

Yeah, I told him I wasn't going any higher than $550, if he had another buyer then sell it, i'm not budging.

He said another guy texted him about it, and was supposed to text him back last night for more info but never did.

Kind of along the same lines, what are some pros vs cons of a ZTR vs a walk behind.

I plan on buying a used mower sometime next year, if my business is going well, I am not quite sure what to buy, but I know I don't want to end up with the wrong kind of mower.

I know walk behinds are way cheaper, and I can pick a decent one up for less than $1500, but efficiency wise, is it worth paying more for a rider?
