was decidly off colour couple of weeks bacl, plus few family issues and planning a short break for Mrs & I. but a cheap JD rideon was brought to my attention.
We are now renting a block with very large grounds but as rough as all get out, ironstone, granit rockls you name it, so I wasnt after a quality mower. Took a quick look, paid $500 and had a new battery included.

Tried it out after sitting for 5 days ^#@*&$#@ both rear tyres shagged, deck off balance to one side, blade barely 1 piece and battery needed charging. hells bells what an utter piece of of crap, but my fault.

We return from short break and no miracles had occured over the rideon so I decided ' will spend more and get something better.
So yesterday morn I look, test run and buy a 10 year old JD $2500 only complaint was age of battery but I knew the seller so it was genuine.
Decided to offer the old one on FB buy swap last night, ad read.... JD rideon, piece of crap, suitable for wrecking, tyres stuffed, deck ??? view tomorrow at *** and make an offer. Highest offer after2pm is the winner. Guy I know vaguly from 6 hours drive away offers $600 and he would be here at 11AM.

So long story I buy a piece of junk for $500, buy a replacement for $2500, replace the brand new battery and sell bomber for $600

nice doing business sometimes
