One thing we've done with some pretty good success is to run an ad in the local newspaper near the end of the season saying we buy used zero turn mowers, walk behinds, leaf blowers, etc.
Some guys want out of the business and don't want to fool with trying to run an ad to sell them, etc. We make them a decent offer (sometimes cash depending on what price range the mower, etc)
We've also picked up some clients this way. They've called us about mowers and we asked what they were going to do with their customers.
Some haven't done anything with them and we can pick them up.
