Which Flymo pieces hold their value
- Hover mowers in working order, which are light, cheap to run and genuinely suit small or sloping lawns
- Machines with a sharp, undamaged blade and the collection box present
- Mowers listed in spring, when the searches actually happen, rather than in autumn
- Complete machines with the original cable undamaged along its whole length
And what pulls the price down
- Damaged or badly nicked blades, which must be replaced rather than sold as working
- Cut, taped or repaired power cables, which are an electrical safety problem and should be replaced before sale
- Cracked hover skirts and housings, which affect how the machine floats and are model-specific to replace
- Missing grass boxes, which are awkward to source and which buyers assume they can replace easily
Identifying and dating yours
These are the checks that decide which end of the range a piece sits in, and they are the facts a serious buyer will ask for:
- Say whether the mower is a hover or a wheeled model, since they suit completely different lawns
- Photograph the blade and the underside of the deck after cleaning, which is what a careful buyer wants to see
- Photograph the cable along its full length and the plug, and say plainly whether it has ever been repaired
WishThrift does not authenticate or inspect anything. Condition and origin are described by the seller against five grades — what each one means — so photograph the markings above rather than asserting them.

Frequently asked questions
Is used Flymo worth buying?
It depends far more on the line than the label. Flymo is best known for the hover mower, a design that suits small and awkward lawns and nothing else. Being clear about which type you have — hover or wheeled — is most of what makes the listing work. Each guide below says which Flymo lines hold their value for that item and which have almost none, so you are comparing like for like rather than paying for the name alone.
How do I check a piece is genuine Flymo?
Say whether the mower is a hover or a wheeled model, since they suit completely different lawns. WishThrift does not authenticate, inspect or grade anything — condition and origin are described by the seller, so ask directly and expect an answer. A seller who has the item will send a photograph of the marking in minutes.
