"Backyarders" and where to buy used equipment

[bartles]

I am kind of in the situation were customers will have a cheap mower, and spend a large amount to fix it, because it is cheaper than replacement, but will not spend the initial money to purchase a serviced, repaired mower. Basically they will put $600 into a mower worth $200 if sold, but won't pay $400 to purchase the same mower.

Makes one wonder if a product warranty might break the ice for that kind of decision.
