What's a fair price?

That same machine on a dealers lot might also have a delivery charge and sales tax! Show your neighbors wife a couple of print outs from comparable units you find on the internet and let her come back with a price. If she is liquidating......you are helping her. She probably would get less from a estate auction or a yard sale. When she gives you a price, bump it up $100 and make her feel good. She is your neighbor's wife.

That's an excellent idea, 'cept that the wifes' in a nursing home. I'm talking with the son. Father & son were not 'tight'. Think when the time comes, I'll throw a figure of 5K out. I could live with myself for that. And yes, mower's always been garaged.

Have the seller start the pricing war. They should be happy around the stated price.

I would say $4500.00 - $5000.00 would be a very fair price for that machine !

Thanks. That's kinda what I'm thinking too. Life's too short to squabble over a few $$$.

Hope this worked out for you and sounds like you were trying to help a grieving family out which is kind of you. I have one of these and would love to find a second one near me for that price. Here in Alabama, its fairly impossible to find Ferris anything.
