RE: (ET) E15 pricing

["David Roden (Akron OH USA)" <roden ald net>]

A lot depends on where you live.  There are lots of ETs in upstate NY so 
they 
go a bit cheaper up there.

Many ET lovers have gotten ETs just for hauling them away.  I recently 
paid 
$100 for an E15 in restorable but non-running condition (holes in the 
battery 
boxes) with 2 parts decks (one too rusty to use, the other borderline), a 
mostly complete blade, and a few odds and ends.  That seems to be about 
the going price.  The guy delivered it, too (I don't own a truck).  I 
might have 
gone to $150, but not much more.

Going price for a ~running~ E15, solid but with surface rust, usable deck 
included, and no or old batteries, is around $300-400.  Figure around 
$50-100 
less without a deck.

The main problem with a non-running ET, even if it ran when parked, is 
that 
the buyer really can't tell what it needs.  He has to assume it's good 
only for 
parts.
