I think your right about the R meaning refurbished but I think these saws are like others have stated that they probable came from places that sent their stock back to Husqvarna.
Alert Jred saws on eBay not as advertised

I’ve been told that they’re are 3 grades of reconsA. Like new
B. Wear items replaced but minor blemishes
C. Well I’ve been told they have C, must be real crappy
All the refurbished husky equipment that I have handled were B, comparable to the Jred stuff I received. Again not new unused
Btw mine are going back. I’ll buy from a seller that advertises what they actually are

I have gotten husqvarna recons that were in great condition, like new. Some were obvious that they were used. Point they weren’t trying to pass them off as new, unused. Speaking to husqvarna corporate customer service new recons are supposed to come with a 30 day warranty. If they are a husqvarna dist why aren’t they offering at least the 30 day warranty?

My understanding is
If you took a partial refund you can’t return it. If you didn’t like me you can open a case as not as described and return it.
Isn’t a saw that is going to be used it’s going to get all scratched up and marked anyways? If I got an $800 saw for $400 and it had a few marks on it but never fueled i wouldn’t complain.
That same seller has some nice stuff. THis for just one example and they have lots........THey have sold the fire out of these.

Oh really?!?!
I've already scratched mine up cutting dead ash
I don't care it's a saw that's what it's for
Some guy's can't handle scratches lol
Out of curiosity. I called Husqvarna today and they said that the R stands for refurbished. I also asked if they could be new stock that was returned to Husqvarna and just stamped with the R and she didn't know, but if I took it to a dealer, they could tell me more about the saw. Either way, I'm happy with mine.

Some guys can’t comprehend when they being hood winked.

I have chainsaws and chainsaw accessories.
The person that buys that saw is being hoodwinked.
But it's a advertised used saw
Should make everyone happy.

I’m gona keep mine. I think I got a descent deal on it but I just have this feeling I’m getting screwed without lube and they’re laughing about it. if anyone knows what I’m getting at. I just don’t like the fact that they aren’t completely up front about what’s going on with them

I don’t have any guns in this fight.
I see both sides of this and can see and agree with valid points from both.
Anyone not happy and wanting a refund just sell the saw here for their refund...plenty here would likely be happy to take the new used saw off your hands for your money back.

I got pretty much the same response. Basically go pound sand. It's all good, I'll find a use for it. I can part it out or if someone comes to me in need of a saw I can let it go with full disclosure down the road. Or if my 2171 goes down I've got backup. Lots of options with it sitting in a box on my shelf.
It's nice getting confirmation about what I've suspected about some of the folks we share this site with. I can tell you one thing though; if you plan on referencing any of the things said in this thread later take screen shots now. I know for a fact at least one of the members that has posted here edits things he's typed after the fact, and I don't mean just correcting spelling.
That post was incomplete, I could finish it, but I don't see it making any difference.Yes @chipper1 there is a point to my post. That is your post most of the 25,000 seem under the influence ??? Picture look familiar lol. Have a great day !!!

No, that picture doesn't look at all familiar to me, should it.
There you go with the "have a great day", if you don't mean it then why do you say it.
So what, you are now a spy for them, so you can get deals.
I find it interesting how quickly you've become such close friends with these folks; first in the Ebay dump thread you said you were against buying from someone who has all their feedback issues, then you gave me a hard time because I said there % of negative feedback was rather low vs their total feedback, then your making a large purchase from them with your family members who are big into Ebay and have some thousands of $ of items on Ebay(which ended up being a few saws
), now your a spy for them 
.What happen to wanting to help guys out and protect them, are you still sending the seller messages for guys who have a problem thru the top secret number.
Now you are singing the praises of their near 500 saws sold in such a short time, and that anyone saying that it's not right that they are selling saws marked with an "R"(refurbished even if they have not been run) and some that have been run, that they should have something in writing from Husqvarna that something is not kosher.
Nope, looks as though you are just advocating(for the company) they return them and move on.
My how quickly you have changed sides from wanting to help AS members too now siding with an Ebay seller who is clearly aware that they are being deceitful. I find it interesting that you would so quickly partner up with that type of company.

I can't believe anybody would be surprised. At least anybody that's paid attention.

That's because Bill told them when that Tim guy calls don't do anything for him
.Yes, it's very similar to all the lies that came out in the "mint condition 570 champ" thread.
"I sold it for full price" says Bill, then it comes up on Ebay for sale for less money, interesting
.I think someone needs to run for office
.That's exactly what this type of person hopes, is that people watch what they are saying in an individual post and mis the big picture.
