When you show her the positive return on the meager investment, she'll be aksing you: "Why aren't you out looking for mowers?"
You may be better off letting her sell them while you catch up on the other stuff. If she is anything like my last wife she will get top dollar.

You know.....I can't tell you how many guys have told me how much thier wives like cutting the grass. It's happening just 1 house away, The guy has a Husquarvna and his wife is on it every Saturday, even during the drought.
I say do it before you find someone else has done it and you're saying "I wish I had acted on that Idea".
How about these skins or wraps that can be applied like a decal in high resolution. You might add 200$ to the purchase price with a 59$ wrap.
Great Idea

MOWING IS A GREAT ESCAPE....WHEN YOUR DOING IT ...PEOPLE LEAVE YOU THE HELL ALONE!....FOR A WHILE AT LEAST :laughing:

I've been thinking the same thing -- I've got so many mowers that I'm backed up with projects to work on them. I'm not in selling mode, however. I've just decided to stop buying so rapidly. I saw an interesting two-stroke Toro on Craig's List last week but I was able to resist checking it out -- mainly because it was located about 30 miles away.

Do you collect only riding mowers? I'm sort of the opposite -- I collect only two-stroke push mowers.

I'm interested in why you chose to keep certain ones and sell others.
