Still shopping around for my mower. I did check out some mowers on craigslist (a few toros and a lawn boy), but they were either overpriced, or had some issues.
My dad has this craftsman mower and loves it :

He let me mow with it this week...this thing is a monster! I love it! I think it has way more power than I need (old one was only a 5.5), but it hardly broke a sweat doing my lawn, which might be a good thing.... I've also noticed the price has dropped, as he paid over 3 for it. He has even offered to throw a few bucks in to convince me to get one too...
Kinda funny since I only looked at the silver and gold models... Looking at these mowers, I'm pretty sure this one is made by MTD. What do you guys think about it? Seems to be pretty good....though the price starts to put it in mid-level troy built or entry level toro area....
Kinda thinking because I could get a nice discount for opening a sears card (have not had one in 15 years) and could even pay in 12 months (though I'd be done well before xmas.)
This mower might have it easy since I like to set it up higher up anyways (is really helping my grass), so it's not even working as hard (the clippings barely filled the bag from front to back!)
Still have time to decide.....
