Poll: What would you do? Old riding mower….sale

[NobullSKS]

This thing was gifted to me couple years ago but it's like 30 years old. My lawns aren't that big anymore. Would you try and get a dollar for it? Or junk it.
Runs, burns oil, needs new battery…..
And if you would sell it would it be worth dropping in a battery to make a sale?

Here's what NOT to do with it...

 

[Knobgoblin]

Search Craigslist for a small engine hustler and trade that mower for a cheap little chainsaw. Or whatever you need most in said category.

If it served its purpose and was gifted to you... pay it forward.

If you don't really need it...and it was gifted to you...pass it along to someone who will use it.
Or...
If you do sell it...don't be greedy , sell it for a "get rid of it quick" price...
Maybe trade it for something you do need and will use.

That's actually great. Thx for perspective. Been thinking about a gas leaf blower.

Yea it's 1992 model…. No greed here just wondering if it's worth anything short of wheeling it to the street for scrappers. I definitely don't want to haul it anywhere.

Yeah I've seen this good idea!

Well, I was able to trade it for a working (clean) ECHO SRM-210 straight trimmer…. And a working clean 5.5 hp push mower. I'm happy and trader was just as glad. Thx for Craigslist suggestions.
