Can’t Sell My Bushhog

[akadave]

That was a really dickish response, Dave. Of course I wasn't implying that he could sell a used 48" mower for more than new. Let's not be stupid.

My point was that used 48" brush hogs are comparatively rare, compared to the ubiquitous 60" and even 72" variants. So, when the shopper who's been on the hunt for one manages to find one for sale, assuming the price isn't absolutely absurd, they're usually not going to fail to make contact, just because the asking price isn't right where they want it.

Remember that the seller was having trouble getting calls, not losing them due to price.

Yeah, I'm like that when the BS gets too deep. There are a lot more lurkers than members here and some of them might believe your nonsense. Not fair to them to let it go unchallenged.

He was not only losing them on price he was losing them before they even called. He wasn't given a chance to show the value he had in mind. You obviously haven't been reading all the replies or don't understand human behavior.

OP came back and agreed it was the price, said he just needed to hear it, lowered the price, and sold it promptly....likely to someone who had been silently watching for months. Good day

Man, this thread escalated quickly.

What did it sell for?

Yeah, we never heard the asking price, or saw the ad either, if I remember right...

I think 'It Wasn't Me' is the only Shaggy song I have ever heard.
This is the Shaggy I know best.

Only Shaggy I know.

Someone said he was asking $1100. Sounded like they found the ad.

Yes, I looked it up right after the OP's post. My guess, it sold for $700-800, which would be what I guess you could get for it here in California.

Agreed. $500 to $800 depending on condition is what I see them going for in the Midwest.

I paid 900 for a very nice frontier/John Deere 48 incher this summer. It was the best quality and price I could find. It is made in China. For my 23hp Massive Ferguson GC2300.
