I’d have to go back and check, but I think I gave $130 US for mine

I asked if he had one. He said he bought one new. He got it and it looked pristine. I shook his hand and said thanks. He pulled the lift arm away and said $20 more for the lift arm. So I paid him and left. He also had an old 60” deck that he said give me $50 and it’s yours. I didn’t have the extra $50 so I told him I would give him a call back and pay him when I pick it up. Well winter came and went so in the spring I called and went over to get the 60” deck. Were looking at the deck which was outside under a tarp. He says it’s now $150. I said why the extra $100? He says inflation. I told him that the 60” deck had been modified by someone to fit on the back of a GT with a 3pt. He had no idea. I also told him as I looked under it there were no blades on it. I said you never used it right. He agreed and said when he purchased his 448, the guy told him to take the deck. I held $50 out to him and said thats all it’s worth. He says oh no it’s worth over $200. I said not to me and walked away. I’ll bet it’s still setting in his backyard full of mouse nests. Harry
