    Hello,
    I am looking for old/broken/unwanted lawnmowers that you would normally just throw out. I am collecting up mowers to either recycle or use for parts (depending on the condition) Instead of having to drain out all the fluids to have the trash men take them, I will pick them up from your house whenever is convenient for you and I will also throw a few buck your way for them. I don't care what condition they are in, and I don't care how messed up the mowers are. Just let me know, Thanks.

    I have a mower that I can't start because I'm unable to pull the cord hard enough. It's still in good condition and was hoping to sell it via garage sale, but never got around to it. Could you pick it up this weekend?

    If you wanted to get a good bit of money for it and it's still in good condition, I'd say to just put it on Craigslist.

    My lawnmower hasn't been started in 4 years, but should still work. Interested in it?

    I really don't like using Craigs List. Are you interesting in taking it?

    Yeah, I can take it off your hands. Just name a time and a place, and I can pick it up.

    I am still looking for old mowers, if you think you shouldn't post just in case I might not still be interested, don't worry, I am always looking for some more.

    I hope he's making a fleet of go-karts and building a track in his yard.

    It depends, if they are beyond my help, I take them to be recycled or I use them for parts for others. If they are able to be saved, I get them up and running, then I get them to people so that they won't need to buy brand new ones.

    I have one that hasn't been started in 3 years. It looks good and I'm sure it's repairable, but just don't have the time. If you want it, it's yours.

    It's an enterprising way of earning extra money. Perform minor fixes and re-sell it used but cheap. Even recycling parts will net a return. Smart.

    I have one of the Reel Mowers that I don't use anymore - would that interest you?

    My neighbor and I both have old mowers to give you. The self-propelling feature is broken. DM me, let me know when you'll be by, & I'll send you address. We can put it at end of driveway for pickup.
