I bought a new old stock short block in 2018 in case either of my Duraforce Lawn Boys shot craps.
I sold one of the mowers and probably will sell the other soon, so I don’t need the short block anymore.
I see they are not around anymore from the usual places, so I’m guessing they have a bit of value to them?
thanks.....

wait, if you bought it new and it hasnt been used, shouldnt you be able to get at least 3/4 of that back from the right buyer?
No, its still new. it was New Old Stock when I bought it off of eBay in mid 2018. They we’re getting hard to come across back then and I paid $200 for it.
It’s Been sitting on the shelf in my basement since. I opened the shipping box to look at it, but that’s all. I don’t even think I took it out. Covered in light oil or whatever they use.
Market value of new old stock is what you can get for it and how long you want to have it sitting around. If someone really needs one you might get $250 or you may have to unload it for half that.

Lawn Boy parts seem to sell well on Ebay and for decent money. I'd list it for $200 and reasonable shipping, buy it now. But might wait a couple months for the mowing season to start. Low ballers are busy in the winter buying up stuff.
Thanks for the opinions.
I’ll list it and see what happens.
I’ve been a fan of the 2 stroke motors for years, and always loved tweaking them, going all the way back to my ‘70s motocross bikes.
Sold it in 1 1/2 days for $265. I get the impression that I could have sold it for more, no doubt, but I pay things forward if I can.I made a little more than I bought it for, and it’s a hard to find item anymore. I dislike reaming people on things if I can avoid it.
So someone got a nice engine...
