I'm gonna be pissed if I miss an 036 for $100 because the guy doesn't know how to spell and my searches don't catch it.
Of course, this one didn't get by me today.

"eager beaver 14 inch bar and chaine and chaine brake"

I swear to God this is true.

A lady posted an add to sell some firewood. She says she had a trunkload to sell and then went on to say. "I'm 61 years old and my old box won't take anything 17" long and 12" wide anymore."

 

[Brian VT]

Did you offer to fill her box with something smaller ?

I just missed one that had Stilh Chanesaw $50. None of my searches picked it up. My wife emailed me the posting (gotta love her for that) when I sent the email, then called the guy was there picking it up. I was so mad because he couldn't spell I didn't want to know what model it was. So now I have add chane and stilh to my CL searching.

I'll do searches for chainsaw, chain saw, in addition to the more obscure steal, sthl, jonsred, husquvarna, and husky. Believe it or not alot of people butcher the five letters it takes to spell stihl.

 

[pioneerguy600]

I watch all kinds of sales for chainsaws and like the others have seen every spelling error about possible, even on eBay . I just about passed up on one recently for a large White chainsaw, $25. Thought better of it and made the call, glad I did, I snagged a saw I have been looking for over 4-5 years now. It turned out to be a Wright C70, complete all original and unbroken.

If your looking for Orline (O&R) chainsaws/parts on E-Bay, Try "Grline".

I've seen that mistake a few times.

Funny you say that. When I bought my pair of Orline saws, they were listed as "Oregon" chainsaws, because they both were equipped with Oregon bars. I do believe he mentioned Grline in the ad as well.
That listing error cost him money, I picked up the pair (Orline Mustang 149's) for a little over 100 bucks, and both were in good cosmetic shape. Had both running soon after I received them as well.

Must be one helluva saw. The few electrics I've used all cut like a dog, not a god/

 

[BlueRidgeMark]

of course there always the one we have all seen " needs a new BLADE "

Oh, that's my neighbor. After turning the bar BLUE with heat, it really did need a new, uh, "blade".

I don't think he knows about bar oil. I mean, you put oil in the gas, right? So why would you need more oil?
