I'm wanting to trade my used Lawn-Boy for a new Snapper mower, and in the
course of calling the dealers in my area to see if they take trade-ins one
dealer told me that they use a "lawn mower blue book" to determine
trade-in
values. I couldn't find any info on this by Googling. Does anyone know
the
title of this publication or how I can get some info on used mower values
the Web? I'd kinda like to have a clue before I go in to bargain. TIA


Here's the guide we use at local Old Time Power gigs:
A unit from a quality manufacturer loses 1/2 it's value in 3 years. Those
from mass marketing are worth 1/10th their value after 4 years. Everything
has a price.
