Actually, it is almost Pavlovian in a way. Since I fix and resell mowers, the dump is the best place to get them.
I pay the attendants $10 regardless of the condition. 9 times out of 10 i can resell the mower. The rest are parts mowers.
Everytime they see me, I think they see "lunch" money the same way Mercedes dealers see "early retirement" when some people pull into the service department.
