Says every single person who bought one and didn't lose power. FB marketplace and Craigslist is packed full. No negoiating they say? These people are about to learn a lesson in supply and demand. 9/15/2018 10:35:42 PM |

no negotiating is hilarious. i tried to sell a generator and they have terrible resale value, this was a heavy duty unit that had never been used, too. you would literally have to drive it to some coastal city in the 1-2 days before a hurricane to make some of your money back. 9/15/2018 11:38:54 PM |

I ended up fixing one that was given to me a decade ago... Old Briggs needed a head gasket. New air filter and oil and she fired right up. It's not the inverter kind and it's real loud. I think I might as well keep it though... 9/16/2018 1:36:25 AM |

Should just spend 10x more for a solar power system… https://www.earthtechproducts.com/1800-watt-solar-generator-1040-watt-panels.html 9/16/2018 2:34:08 AM |

Does that work when it's overcast and rainy for a week? Curious what you could expect in those conditions... 9/16/2018 5:53:18 AM |

^ add more solar panels and/or batteries depending on needs
You can also use it year round to reduce electric bills if you spend a little more in an inverter that supports grid connection. 9/16/2018 5:15:09 PM |

Also, doesn't the hurricane season continue through fall? I get if they spent money they don't ordinarily have to get one, but the whole point is have-it-and-not-need-it, right? 9/16/2018 5:37:26 PM |

selling a generator right now and saying “no negotiation” is stupid but no weirder than the guy who was trying to borrow a generator as the storm was approaching

And hurricane season is followed by ice/snow season which has been known to knock out power lines.9/16/2018 7:05:54 PM |

Gathers more interest if you say "Generator for sell" instead. 9/16/2018 7:18:47 PM |
