What's a cheap way to store a riding lawn mower?

Graciela,


My aunt offered me a good deal on her old riding lawn mower and I really want to buy it. Unfortunately, I have no place for it. My garage is too small, and our cars barely fit already. I have no shed and can't afford to build one. Are there any other options?


Answer
Sheds really aren't that expensive. you can pick up a cheap DIY plastic shed for very little money.

if that still isn't an option, go with a tarp. just park the thing next to your house and lay the tarp over it. if it's windy, make sure to stake it down.

Would this be a good way to make quick cash?

I'm lookin at bartering, or just buying and selling on craigslist to make some quick cash.

I was thinking, are lawn mowers alot cheaper in the winter? I'm thinking about going on craigslist in november and buying like $500-700 worth of push-mowers in the $25-75 range. I could clean em up a bit, then in february or march, put them back up for $75-125. The demand would probably be alot higher down here when the Texas summer hits.

I know I'd be sitting on my investment for a few months, but would it pay off?



Answer
Funny thing - the CURB ALERT section of Craig's list has shown me lots of items irrespective of season - and for no cost at all. I have also noticed that March, April and May are prime months for all sorts of garden-related 'stuff' to be left at the curb. Including several lawnmowers needing nothing more than a little bit of TLC and/or blade sharpening.

In theory, what you suggest is just fine. But the truly-cheap sorts will hunt down discards and trash-picks, do the work and realize the benefit without the middle-man. Those without necessary skills and also in need of bargains are your customer base - and these sorts can be very problematic. I would not want to have my home-address & phone number hanging out there as being responsible for this type of equipment unless I was absolutely sure that what I was selling was safe and reliable. Can you be sure of that?
