A Steal? of a Deal 046 (Ebay)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4341077490 Hope you get warranty for that price!

Must be the fact that it is "Custom Ordered"

I guess he will sell it for that price. Anybody that will pay that is on drugs and/or has too much money.

Wow, thanks for that link, I can get a whole bunch of almost new saws with boxes that were custom made for more $$$ than I would ever spend at a local dealer. Plus I get to pay inflated shipping cost too.
Almost to good to be true.

That is the funkiest looking handle I have ever seen for a full wrap. That doesn't even look pratical for anything, wonder how much that would get in the way when doing chain adjustments or swapping chains out. That handle reminds of a floppy eared dog.

I got my feet wet this week on ebay this week, seems like any other auction I go to, always someone around with more money than common sense. Whenever I went to ebay before there wasn't a whole lot to pick from, this time it was a real smorgasboard of saws or so I thought. I picked four models I was familiar with and bid on when they were low and just watched to see where they ended. When the bidding was over all I could say was " You have got to be kidding me", " Who the heck, pays this much for parts saws that may or may not run".

I did buy one, but I didn't consider it a bargain or a steal, I've done much better locally, but I doubt I could have found this saw any where in our area.
I just hope I didn't blow 160.00 bucks, the seller said it runs great, we'll see if and when it gets here how great it runs.

$999 Buy It Now!!!............What a fool!!!

 

[MacDaddy]

Its not even a real rescue model Because a recue comes with a carbide chain and a snowmobile style pull handle you can also buy it at your stihl dealer for less

You guys are all talking like you can see the images of the chainsaw.  You're pulling my leg, right?  All the MS IIS web server is sending me for the images look just like the one in my attachment.

Glenn,

The ebay listing came up fine for me. This seller has had the same auction running for several months. I think he has sold some at around $750-$800. This was right after I sold a pair of new 460's for $680.

The images are displaying on the page all right for me, but when I right click on a picture and select "view picture," I get several pages of this stuff:

This is the image location of the main picture:

"http://members.sparedollar.com/resize.aspx?user=brooke71&img=DSC02799.JPG&size=600"

Something screwy is going on there. As is, it would be difficult to pilfer the pictures. I wonder if that is the intent.

Which means, the IIS is FUBAR and is sending <font face="red">text/html</font> for the resized image(s).

What can I say...&nbsp; I'm totally surprised that your (anyones) browser renders the "images" in place, not to mention that it contains errors:
<blockquote><font face="fixed">display&nbsp;resize.aspx\?user\=brooke71\&img\=DSC02799.JPG\&size\=600
display: Corrupt JPEG data: 11738 extraneous bytes before marker 0xd9.</font></blockquote>
I'm assuming the brain-dead browsers that are rendering the "images" being sent are Microsoft's own browser?&nbsp; Shall I get started on how they always come late to the pool party then immediately take a huge floating dump in the water?

Actually, I'm running Firefox, and I just tried Mozilla and it shows the image as well.

Here's a partial screen shot of what I'm getting with Firefox.

Hmm.&nbsp; I guess my chain of filtering proxies actually <i>believes</i> the server when it says the Content-Type is text/html, so they filter the content as if it were text/html, much like what happens when the top link is clicked in my last post...

Standards compliance is kind of a neat idea, don't you think?&nbsp; It's a simple thing and it solves all kinds of niggling little problems like this.

You think thats good you should try this used 066 with the picture of a new one of course so you know what type of saw you are getting, I mean with just $50 more for shipping.

 

[The Sand Man]

Sounds like a good Deal. LOL NOT!.
Who in there right mind would try to sell a saw for so much?
Maybe Ebay needs a Moderator to handle their classifieds.
