Since we all know you buy and sell, one man's junk is another treasure and all that jazz, here is a money maker for you:
https://medford.craigslist.org/grd/5538738678.html
This is an ARIENS Rear Tine Rototiller that has been stored for maybe 20 years. The engine can turn with the starter but the starter doesn't recoil. It is COMPLETE and the motor is NOT siezed. It has a Tecomseh engine. So, if you have the time and knowledge to tinker with this you are getting a good deal. $75

I bet TVguy wouldn't pay more than $30 for that heap of junk. He could probably sell it for $150 or more. Five hundred to a thousand percent profit is how garage sale buyers make their money.

An Ariens rear tine, I bet TVg would offer at least $50
We will see what he is willing to pay when he weighs in on the subject, it's like RVF's own version of price is right.

If I didn't have to drive over 60 miles I would probably check it out. But for the most part I stopped buying anything that needed work. I just don't have the time. But that thing running I would sell for $250.00 all day long.
But thank you
I actually don't even go to many yard sales anymore. I have a special niche item that I buy and sell almost exclusively. And I'm so far behind in listing and I have a huge inventory it makes no sense to buy and sell other things.

I wouldn't buy anything with a Tecumseh engine on it, unless I knew there was an adequate parts supply. The company is out of business.

Thanks but It doesn't look like finding parts is an issue.

Someday you'll be able to print any part you want.
