For: Local buyers of riding lawnmowers and overseas buyers in markets where specific mower brands are difficult to find.
Examples
- A John Deere riding mower bought for $2,200 was reportedly sold for $6,000 to $7,000 in Bolivia after approximately $500 shipping, implying roughly $3,000 total cost and a potential sale near $6,000.
