I'd stick them on ebay. A good job to do on a bad weather day. If everything runs you can always say that they would benefit from a service, if you don't want the bother of doing it before selling them. At the end of the day even if you only got £50 each for them, how long would you have to work to earn that compared to 10 mins listing them on ebay? You could probably list the lot in under an hour during the evening and potentially earn a day or mores money from it.
Spot on Chris - and there are always plenty of bad weather days!
I would defo be interested in a hayter. Spare mower or one for home etc.
Personally I try to service all my old kit in winter - Ive got a Etesia thats had its day, and still works but is pretty much shot.... a bit rattley, bearings all gone, drive slipping, engine problems in cool weather. (It is a 2005 model so had good use)
Its going to go every day in the van along side its 2012 model replacement and be used first, every time..... Until it dies. Then Ill bin it - its unfair to sell something that’s that shot, even if your honest and sell it as spares -----
Ill take wheels off, all cables and wires, fuel tank, carburetter and nuts and bolts for the spares box... everything else gets chucked.
With other tools (stimmers etc) I usually sell them on ebay after 3 years while I can still get SOME value from them towards new... older than that and their usually shot.
Otherwise same as mower... use until they die.
If you're looking to buy the same models of everything you could always keep them for spare parts?
Ebay is the way as most suggest, the way i look at it is you are getting rid of clutter , making a few quid for little time invested but importantly in todays throwaway society it is giving others a chance to renew / restore interesting bits of kit that they have time for, rather than it ending up in landfill or scrap merchants. Look at it as recycling
