Buying Used Lawn Equipment

Thinking about buying used lawn equipment? I checked out Ebay.com, which like its cousin Amazon.com is its own economy, and found tons of lawn care equipment. They have over 6000 mowers to choose from, 71 mulchers, 133 hedge trimmers, over 450 string trimmers, plus hundreds of other items. Heck, even the local garden supply superstore doesn't carry that kind of inventory! And, there are many new items in there, not just used stuff.

One thing I've learned about purchasing products on eBay is that they are real particular then sellers not mis-represent a product. If there's a problem with it, that best be mentioned in the description. If the item has a ding or a nick, there better be a photo.

Personally, I've had good experiences buying items on eBay, though I must admit I've never bought a lawnmower. (A car, yes, but not a lawnmower.)
