Paul that mower on ebay has been on for ages, so that should tell you he is dreaming. In saying that though if you are interested I would make a very low offer and then you can come up a bit, I wouldn't pay more than 5 grand, even though the deck is new.Say the deck was close to 3 grand , 5 grand would be an ok deal that's if the rest of it is good. The hours are high for an 18hp, but you could always put a new donk in it, if you had to. The big dollar things to replace are the hydros, so you would want to take it for a drive, cut some grass and make sure it turns and runs straight.Also check the blower for wear, the seat needs replacing , but otherwise it looks ok, mate you would love the multideck and being the mc it is a bit smaller than an mt the catcher is smaller which means you could dump a full catcher into a wool bale and handle it yourself. If you can get into one of these machines you wouldn't know yourself ,so do what Les does off hardcore pawn make a ridiculous offer to start with to let him know your keen
