A huge Airens snowblower $100

8HP 32 inch cut. Good engine, electric start. Loud racket when impeller engaged. I noticed an end bearing on the auger was bad. I can get this part for $20 in ten minutes but we should have it from scrap salvage. I emailed my "minions". I keep telling them to "strip the scrap metal". If we hold down costs we can make $150 on reselling this. I only take out my costs and mileage.

This house was on a "fringe" area of urban St. Paul. I saw no distressed houses there. It's an area where people keep heavy equipment in their yards. This guy was friendly as are most people I deal with. He had a newer snow blower there. I got the sense he was working.

Welcome to Gaming Craigslist dot com!

Welcome to Gaming Craigslist dot com! Basically, I am retired with a solid pension. I am surrounded by good people

hurt by the financial meltdown. Basically, Craigslist is like a giant garage sale with "inefficient" pricing at times.

Basically I chase down the "bargains" and mostly get friends and family I know who are out of work to repair and resale. I

deal mostly in lawn and snow equiptment. (I am located in Minnesota). I aim to break even with purchase and mileage costs.

I pay asking price or reject. I will mask the identies the entries. So far the sellers have been good. It's mostly the "enviorment"

I am interested in. I've seen foreclosed houses in million dollar neighborhoods and a number of people facing foclusure

because they lost their job. All have stories.
