5.5 HP (173cc) OHV Vertical-Shaft Gas Engine, CARB
Base price$229.99
Members' price$229.99
Everyone else$229.99
$229.99 is 13% over the $199.99 it sat at for six months, but the record gives no sure sign it returns.
$229.99 is 15% over its usual $199.99, up since Oct 20. Nothing in its record says when, or if, it comes back down.
Why it's Fair
The engine sold at $229.99 from February 2025 to mid April 2026, then sat at $199.99 until Oct 19, and went back up to $229.99 on Oct 20. That is one drop and one rise, not a repeat pattern, and there are no sales or coupons in the record and none announced. The $199.99 stretch makes a return possible, but the record doesn't show it coming back twice, so I won't call a wait. It isn't a clearly good price either, so don't rush.
Next sale, maybe: No telling when, around $200. A long shot.
