Wow! That's a good deal! I'd buy it, but I already have a 70cc saw and besides, it's a Husky .

This is something I would fall for until they would want advance payment or something. Seriously, what does the 'Seller' get out of a bogus ad. All they can get is your phone No? And if a person falls for it and prepays for it by some means, maybe they deserve to be taken?

Ok- I’ll show my ignorance here. What is the scam? Looking around online I see higher prices for that saw, and things look new in his pic. What do you see that I’m missing?

I'm just assuming it's a scam because a) it was first presented as a scam, and b) it's supposedly brand new and being sold for half the price of a new one. I could maybe see 75% of a new one, but not half. But you're right, I don't know if it is really a scam. Would be a nice saw to have. Wonder why someone hasn't scooped it up yet?

For $50 more I can get a new one.

^^^ That same guy was asking $1300 for a 461. I emailed him about that and told him they were much cheaper elsewhere. He dropped it to $1200 lmao. I guess he’s hoping to find a dummy.

Here is an email from my last Craigslist person after I told him that I would be there tomorrow to take down a medium sized red oak in his backyard.

"yes, that's fine. while you're here, if u wouldn't mind cutting down some dogwoods & some off my magnolia & mulberry trees in the back that u can easily reach from the ground, i'd like u to do that, too. u can have any & all of the wood that u cut from those, too.
i also have some limbs hanging over my house from some kinda tree,i need you to climb up there and trim them back.my neighbor wants her litle trees trimmed in her yard next door, i told her that u wood do it for me.or i'll borrow your utility chainsaw & cut it up myself if u can just get it on the ground for me. thanks!
and my freind says that u can grind the stumps down to the ground with your chainsaw,just use a old chain and wash your saw with a garden hose real good to get the dirt out.is that okay?"



I am thinking that maybe this job is going to be a hassle, full of "whileuratits"
Wash my saw?I think not!Loan you my saw?I think not!

Omg I've never heard that **** before. She probably seen a diy and figured she would give it a try lmao and barrow saw to grind a stump to the ground wtf is she smoking lol just hose it off real good lol hahahahahahhaha

Probably really not that bad of a deal, but knowing the area, they would want proof of insurance, no damage to the rock circle or dents in the yard and the stump ground.

Guess that were too cheap to pay for that part of the job?

I'd like to see someone go to his house and drop the tree in his neighbors yard and leave! These people are idiots.

If you do get them and feel like shipping I'd be interested in both the redmax saws.

So far no response at the listed phone number....I'll keep trying.

It's one of those things that have a higher probability of scam than real....

Man and his wife loaded up my pile of cookies and carried them off.

They are grandparents who like to do s’mores in their back yard.
