I put it on Craigslist along with a garage sale ad, and said the first $250 takes it. Nobody asked about it, and during the garage sale, one guy looked at it. I started it up, but it was finnicky (it was cold that morning). It would die whenever I'd try to engage the blade. He asked what my bottom line was. I said that it was obviously acting up, and I'd take 200 for it. He asked if I'd take 150, and I said I'd do 175. He said he'd ride around and think about it.

After he left, I realized the gas tank was empty. I filled it up, and of course it ran just fine.

Fast forward 4 days later, and I start looking around on CL and even Murrays with no hoods and "needs work" are going for 200. So I put 400 on it and sold it in 2 hours, for asking price.
