Buying second-hand
Used-market tip
£15–35 used. As with all manual cylinders, sharpness is everything — test cut on a tuft of grass before paying. Re-sharpening is £20 if needed. Plastic wheels can crack if stored cold and dropped — inspect closely.
Where to look: Facebook Marketplace and Gumtree are usually 20–30% cheaper than eBay UK for petrol mowers because most sellers want local pickup. eBay tends to win on cordless and electric (lighter, easier to ship). Always insist on a starting demonstration before paying.
