Lots of power generators selling on craigslist suddenly

Looks like a lot of people bought generators for the power outtages as a result of the storms this past week.

Now that they no longer need them. they are putting them up for sale at a discount.

I'd ask for a demonstation before buying them.

Maybe they had them as part of their preps and found they didn't quite fit their needs (not enough amps to run their fridge or AC units).

This has been a public service announcement!

this happened after hurricanes also.

Now is the time to get a generator, thanks for the public service announcement.

This is why I voted that people wouldn't learn from this event. Why not add some stabil to the tank and keep it for the NEXT power outage?

The people selling their newly purchased gensets probably should. I mean, why would you want to be able to see your family starving?

I heard that somewhere down South had power outages for a few days. Guess this is the effect.
