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.

it may sound crazy....but half the time i sell mowers ...its to women!.....im thinking i can paint some pink and and tap into a new market.....ive had women mention a number of times...."why dont you put flowers on or offer them in girl colors?"....maybe ill start listening.......they're out there mowing like everybody else.....sometimes more!

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.

I HAD BOTH TYPES FOR A WHILE...BUT IM KINDA ATTACHED TO THE RIDERS...I HATE SELLING TOO..I LIKE THE THE TREASURE HUNT OF IT ALL AND WATCHING SOMETHING COME BACK TO LIFE.........I GUESS I KEEP THE ONES THAT NEED MORE WORK AND ARN'T SALEABLE OR IF I IT FEELS RIGHT ....SOME MOWERS HAVE BAD VIBE AND I HAVE NO PROBLEM GETTING RID OF...........THERES ONLY A MONTH AND A HALF OF THE SEASON LEFT UP HERE TOO AND I NEED TO THINK ABOUT WINTER .....AS MUCH AS I HATE TO..:smile:

Crikey! I thought I was a little suspect with 7 riding mowers in my stable, but now I see I'm not the only one with this affliction.:thumbsup::laughing::wink: I think I'll have to make up a sunshine yellow mower sometime, (can't bring myself to do a pink yet) and see if I can get some more female customers. I like the wrap idea!

I want one! :laughing:

see....thats what im talking about :biggrin:......thanks for the imput :thumbsup:

My wife loves to mow too. She's says it's the perfect time to work on her tan. You guys could be on to something.

girls in bikini's on mowers...i can see it now...awsome!......sorry............thinking out loud..:ashamed:

your going to get me in trouble! :laughing:

But can you see my point? ...

Riding Mower ==> Lack of Exercise ==> Weight Gain

Push Mower ==> Stay Fit ==> Look Good in Bikini

got it....how bout a new exercise video?....we can sell them for $20 bucks a piece :laughing:

Hey guys, let's keep the bikini pictures out of the threads please. :laughing: I'll admit, it was funny, but a little too far removed from the topic of lawn mowers.

So anyways, I would like a purple lawn mower. Please and thank you. :biggrin:

sorry...i was was raised by women....i should know better:ashamed:.......a woman remembers every stupid thing a guy says.....FOREVER :smile:

I hate to break it to you, but there are mowing companies that use bikini clad women. We don't have any around here that I know of, but I've seen pictures.

damn it!....she beat me to it! :laughing:... The Pink Fury
