Wow where did you find a used battery mower for $120? The cheapest on my local Kijiji is $450 for a 4 year old one. All the others upwards of $800.
Also need to consider that the battery is probably close to end of life on used mowers.
In comparison there's 14 gas mowers between $0-$50 in my locale. Most of the free ones appear to be in working condition too.
I bought a new Greenworks battery mower (40V) for $200 when it went on sale at the local Lowes. For a normal-sized city lot with grass, it's WAY more than enough. Plus, it's light to move around... does just as good of a job mowing as the gas one my neighbor uses, and it makes hardly any noise at all when I use it.
I mean I'll never buy a lawnmower (fuck grass lawns) but a quick look shows they are as low as 70 bucks. Here's an example.
That looks like one you have to plug in, but they seem to be talking about battery powered mowers.
