Generator

[Jackie Ramo]

My parents bought a generator before they moved to their current home last year. It is a 650 watt I think Command King... sorry I wrote it down on a pice of paper and promptly lost it.

Anyway they are looking to sell it as they don't need it at the new house and it takes up a lot of room. They paid over $1,200.00 for it and are looking for $1,000.00, it is out of the box but never used.

Sorry it is a King Canada and is 6500 watts.

I think generator prices have dropped. I bought a 6000 watt one for $650 last year.

[Jackie Ramo]

You got a good deal. I can't find the model that my parents have on the net... so can't do a price compare. Electric start. The closest I can come is a honda and the price is 1,900.00 or more for a 6,000 watt.

Certainly I could not find a 6,000 watt one for your price.

I got mine from home depot, I was thinking mine was the next size bigger, but maybe it is this one is it 5000watt continuous, 6250 surge. I'll double-check this weekend. Pull start not electric start:

See us Canuks are always over charged for things. Even though our dollar is worth more than yours we pay a higher price.

Put it up on craigslist and hope someone rich and doesn't care about prices wants it :HAHA: For real though, I think the price you put up is about right though because honda is "honda" so 1000 seems good for not a name brand item

[Jackie Ramo]

Unfortunately the brand is not Honda, but some local canadian compay that isni't evenon the net... never used, so one doesn't even know if it works :lol: not mine, if they gave it to me I'd take it.

[Jackie Ramo]

Any takers yet? There are several differences between the units, eg. 2 stroke vs. 4 stroke (your neighbour will be taking pot-shots at you running a 2 stroke) Electric start is a must for large units.

I sized mine to run the furnace and a couple of lights in the winter, and the pond in the summer.

[Jackie Ramo]

No takers but then I forgot to even look at it last time I was there. I don't think they are in a rush to sell it just don't need it where they live now.
