I agreed wit this part of that article:
Quote:
Why would you buy a walk-behind mower from Snapper that costs $519? What could it possibly have to justify spending $300 or $400 more?
NOTHING.

That guy and his high horse are doomed. He'll have to charge more and more for fewer and fewer sales, until he has to charge $100mil for one mower.
Wal-mart will be around for a lot longer than he will.

BYW I bought my sears lawn mower from a garage sale for $5. It had a leaky gas tank, which I replaced with a new one I bought on-line for $15. That was about 8 years ago and it still runs great although I had to replace the blade ($9) a couple years ago.
