good opportunity or pass?

[KitFox1011]

My co worker is selling off a bunch of stuff thet don't need when her and the husband move back to Alaska and amungst this stuff is a 2008 Troybilt Big Red 50". Its very well taken care of and he's asking $500, hoping he can sell it fast (moving due to military orders, so it was short notice).
So my question is; should I jump on this opportunity, or keep my current mower (a Craftsman 2008 L2000 42" deck)?

Thanks for the help guys!

What about the quality of the mower?
I have a little under 3acres and not too hilly.

Looked at the link Muttchops provided, the machine will do the job, if in decent shape I would buy it for that price.

Concur...if in decent shape $500 is a fair price. Likely purchased new at Lowes...

Just mowed 3/4 of my lawn tonight... going to leave the other 1/4 for testing the new one!

So tell us if we spent your money right or not......:laughing:

Not sure yet lol.
The guy I'm buying it from was giving it one last mow and the belt broke. So he didn't feel right giving it to me like that, so he is replacing the belt and throwing in new spark plugs

I should have it in another day or so
