1 I learned last year when helping a cousin get ready to move to Iowa after her husband died, that there is practically NO secondary market for used scooters. People buying them almost always rely on insurance, and insurance "firms" don't deal with used equipment from private sellers. Don't pay more than 10 cents on the dollar! Check your local "Penny Saver" type newspapers, or church bulletins and the like... My cousin had two, like-new scooters--one originally costing around $8000 and the other around $4,000(she essentially paid for them on her own) She wound up taking $800 for one, and a little less for the second--after six months on the market! Too bad I didn't know then what I know now! Sorry, k!!!! Hope the advice helps, though! And this link! http://ksquest.blogspot.com/

2 Aw, dang. I did it again, huh? Queen of the broken link. I'm sure I'll find the url address in there somewhere, with enough code missing that it didn't even show up . . . . On the other hand, I'm charming, articulate and whip-smart. So there's that.

3 Two thumbs up!

4 aHA! So this is where Darrell found me out! My desktop has been having a little trouble loading some blogs lately and I was LMA deprived for a few days. Thank you, Miss Attila! And Darrell, you're 100% correct about the scooter resale market. I spent a lot of thought on the new vs. used question. I just wiped myself out scooter shopping today so there's not much of an update post - but I'll have all the gory details up tomorrow, I think.
