How much can you sell a riding lawn mower with a bad engine for?

We have a Troy Built riding lawn mower that needs some engine work. We don't feel like messing around with the repairs, so we were just going to sell the body.

What would be a reasonable price to ask for?

Answer
I like the other answer about subtracting 10% for each year and then the cost of the repairs - but I would argue that you may still have trouble selling it at that price.

When I put myself in the buyer's position, I can't help but think that there should also be an additional incentive for me to purchase a non-working item. Yes, theoritically, I would be made whole by deducting the cost to repair - but that is just an estimate. If I'm going to take the additional risk of buying a non-working item then there should be a little extra cushion in it. If for nothing else than to protect me in the event that the repairs go over budget.

How about
- Take 10% off for each year
- Take off the cost to repair
- Take off an additional 5 to 10% since it isn't currently working.

Whats better:Going to the Indians MLB playoff or buying a new lawn mower?

MLB

I start my own business and need a new lawn mower but i also want to go the the Indians MLB playoff games.
I have $500 budget.
Should i go to the playoff or invest in equipment for my own business?

Answer
Hell...I've never been to ANY playoff game. You buy that lawn mower, I'll take the tickets.

Cleveland most likely won't make the playoffs though.
