Buy new. Trust me, it ain't worth the frustration to buy one used. I bought a used blower off a member of this site, used it 6 times and one of the motors went out. I wound up with a $295 used blower. The fella promised me to pay half of the new motor cost, and never sent me a flippin' nickel. Just goes to show, a man is only as good as his word. Why a man would sell himself out for $45 is beyond me.
Can you tell I"m a little sore about it? I SHOULD'VE BOUGHT A NEW BLOWER!!!!!!
Well, whaddayaknow.... I reckon I need to amend this statement. I wasn't naming any names but the man I bought the blower from, sent the money to me today for his part of the new motor.
