That has to be the stupidest reply I have seen on this board. People like that should just keep their big trap shut. To say that without elaborating on why they feel that way is just someone who likes to waste space.
The value is whatever someone is willing to pay for something usefull. It is not some rare, desireable object, but certainly with a bed it could be usefull around a farm or property. And anything with a running motor (onan motors are well respected) is worth a case of beer. Sounds like a neat find to me.

SCOTTD,
ITS AMERICA, WE ARE ALL ENTITLED TO OUR OWN OPINIONS. IF I WOULD HAVE PAID $$$$$$ FOR THE CUSHMAN, YOUR OPINION WOULD HAVE OFFENDED ME; HOWEVER, I PAID THE PRICE OF A CASE OF BEER ($8.00) THEREFORE YOUR INSULT FELL FLAT. NICE TRY.

Up here in Ohio they have very good resale value, anywhere from $1500 to $3500. My dad bought one last summer for 750 at an auction, and he has already had offers to double his money. Mind you, his is not in very good shape, bed has holes rusted through it, and people still offer him 15 1600 for it.
They are very popular with Police Departmants, and security companies that patrol large parking lots. I used to work construction and we would hire Youngstown Police to flag traffic for us, and the one officer I talked to said he had his over 60mph! My dad won't sell his, he says it is to handy.
If you want, email me a pic of it and I will get it in the local paper here. Don't listen to the idiot that said you have a boat anchor, for just a case of beer invested, you stand to buy a truck load of beer with your profits if you take it to the right area to sell!
