Question? I've been searching for a nice leaf blower on eBay for 3 months and each time I find the one I want, I get outbid by another user and that's fine.  This is my concern ... I started looking at the prices the eBay users were paying for these used blowers and by the time you add thirty to fifty dollars for shipping, your total will meet or exceed the price that you could purchase a brand new one from your local outdoor equipment shop for.  "I am not a owner of any such shop".  Here's my point ... Just go down to your local outdoor power equipment shop and purchase a nice leaf blower from them.

Here are the plus's from doing that:

• You can return it.
• Any maintenance or warranty work can be done by them.
• Item is less expensive.
• You know for sure the item is in good shape and not about to blow up.

So stop paying these ridiculous prices and start supporting your local home town's outdoor power equipment shops.
