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.

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.

No I'm actually in the market for one though. Gonna take advantage of the resale market excess supply.

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...

Does that work when it's overcast and rainy for a week? Curious what you could expect in those conditions...

^ 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.

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?

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

[Edited on September 16, 2018 at 6:20 PM. Reason : lemme hold that generator]

And hurricane season is followed by ice/snow season which has been known to knock out power lines.

Gathers more interest if you say "Generator for sell" instead.
