Since I just can't stand small engine noise I never owned a
powered mower.  When I did mow, I had a regular pusher
(vintage, $10 in 1977; only needed lubrication & sharpening)

Oh, I see the going rate is lower even after inflation!

Look again please.  The above eBay link you posted does not work for
me.  However, I was able to find a similar vintage Toro lawnmower.

I kinda hate to say this, but the link worked for me!

 It now works for me.  I tried it several times.  The link went to
ebay, but ebay said the item could not be found.  I have no idea what
went wrong.
 

Oddly, the first time it didn't. When I tried again it worked. $5.00,
sale ended.

 The item wasn't sold.  The listing ended on:
"Ended: Sep 29, 2012 13:41:54 PDT"
 Also, notice the listing says:
"Local pickup only from Saint Louis, Missouri, United States 63128"
Local pickup really means that the seller doesn't want to disassemble
and pack the lawn mower.  The price of shipping could easily approach
$100.
 

Here's a link to the image in the ad:
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/as8AAOxyo-9Q1pSq/s-l1600.jpg

 The link describes the mower as a "push - walk behind" mower.  That's
NOT a walk behind mower, but rather a "pusher reel" or just "reel"
mower like these:

This is a "walk behind lawnmower":
