This is just as good as a new one, only used one time. One just like this one sold on a local auction for over $8000. A brand new rake of this size and brand is over $9000. So this is a good deal at $5500 firm. You can buy this rake without looking at it first because it looks like a new one and if you agree to buy it I would be willing to meet you partway, for a little extra gas money. Phone calls only, I don't do texting.
