Record the mower specification
Identify the brand, model and power type. Add the documented cutting width and whether it is push, self-propelled, ride-on or robotic, as applicable.
Give buyers a clear picture before they travel
Sell Your Used Lawnmower in Ireland
Replacing your mower or clearing the shed? A useful advert explains more than 'starts and runs'. Tell buyers the mower type, exact model, known condition and what is included. Post a standard listing free on Local Ads and arrange viewing, payment and collection directly.
Free standard listing. Optional paid promotion. Buyers contact you directly; you agree payment and handover.
A direct selling plan
Prepare a useful advert in three steps
Explain the latest use
Say when it was last used and what you observed. Include starting, cutting or drive problems you know about instead of treating a brief start as a complete condition check.
Explain what collection involves
List accessories, dimensions where useful and loading access. Agree suitable transport and follow the manufacturer's handling instructions rather than guessing at a transport method.
Describe the right mower, not just the brand
The same brand may sell several mower types with different collection and ownership requirements. A buyer comparing a compact push mower with a self-propelled model needs the model and drive information in the text. For a battery mower, make clear whether the batteries and correct charger are part of the advertised price.
For a robotic mower, list the charging station, boundary equipment and other components that actually come with it. Describe any account association or installation requirement you know about, without promising it will work in every garden. Do not invent a suitable lawn area or runtime from the appearance of the machine.
A long period in storage is useful information
A mower that worked when stored may not be in the same condition now. State the last known use and whether it has been checked since. If it has not been tested, use that wording prominently rather than relying on a vague 'should work'. Buyers can then decide whether the condition fits their needs.
Take daylight photos of the complete mower, controls, grass box and visible wear without reaching into dangerous areas or removing safety components for a photo. Explain repairs you know about and distinguish a dated service record from a general recollection that it was serviced at some point.
Price and collect the complete package
Compare the same model or genuinely similar machines, adjusting for included batteries, accessories and known work needed. Advertised prices are not confirmed sale values. An absent grass box or charger may matter to a buyer even if you did not use it yourself.
Keep your exact address private until you agree collection details. Explain narrow access, steps or other loading limitations in advance. Follow manufacturer guidance for handling and transport, and do not agree to an unsafe demonstration just to complete a sale.

Common seller questions
Can I list a mower that has been in the shed for a long time?
Describe the storage period, last known use and whether it has been tested since. Do not represent an untested mower as fully working or invite unsafe use.
Should the advert include the grass box and charger?
Include them only if they are part of the sale. List each component explicitly and mention missing accessories so buyers understand the complete cost of using the mower.
Can I advertise collection only?
Yes. Add your county and locality and explain the collection arrangement. Buyers and sellers agree transport directly; Local Ads does not collect or deliver the mower.
How much does a lawnmower listing cost?
A standard Local Ads listing is free. You can choose optional paid promotion separately, but it is not required to post.
