An EXCELLENT Ebay experience

[weimedog]

To contrast some who have pushed my patience and also obviuosly yours as seen by that high shipping ebay post...here,s a rendition of an excellent ebay experience:

I bid and purchased a large Homelite 1020 for parts to get one of mine ready for work. I was expecting a PARTS SAW!!! Being a little savey and expecting, as I have had in the past; overly optimistic descriptions. This seller was dead on accurate when he siad it needed a little cleaning but should be a working saw.

It needed a carb kit and it runs really well. Anyway....the saw was a Homelite XL-1020 and is HEAVY! And now the one I had planned to build is the "Parts Saw" and this one I got from ebay is the runner.

As far as the shipping cost? He charged only $15 dollars for shipping AND it got here within a week. The other places I had worked with charged $35 dollars.

The saw was MUCH better than I had expected and his communication was much better than ALL the other places I have purchased used saws and motorcycles.

The seller was "arborist199"

If you run into one of his/her auctions, trust what he says.

Nice saw

I was watching that one,myself.I had an experiance,much the same.A seller,new on e-bay,under estimated the shipping charges,and ,after it had been shipped,told me about it.She wasn't asking for the differance,but I sent her the additional.After a few days,she again informed me she had over chrged me,and sent a refund.There are honest people,still .I am presently awaiting the arrival of a McCulloch SP 81.This saw will complete my collection of 70's era Macs.I will have a representative saw,of every cubic inch, of the so called pro series made,during that period,from the 10-10 to SP 125.
