eBay with Black & Decker has the refurbished Black & Decker NST2018R 18-volt 12" Grasshog Cordless Electric Trimmer for $50 with free shipping. Features a telescoping shaft, auto line advance, gear drive transmission, and includes two 18V NiCad batteries.
I bout this about two months ago the last time it was on sale.
Was in new condition, and the two batteries it came with were in new condition also.
I haven't used it hard as I bought it to do the light stuff near the house. I have a gas model for the approx. 5 acres I trim in.
I am pretty pleased. Only three small negatives. Only a single string side and with the smaller diameter string. Two, It is only a twelve inch cut. Lastly, depending on how thick the stuff is you cut, you could go through a spool of line quickly as the more you "beat-up" the string, the faster the spool lets the string out (it's auto vs. bump).
