Because they are out of stock on the Farmertec website where they sell them for $239 USD?
So you had to jump on Flea Bay?

The 200T is legendary and nobody that is not a pro user is wanting to pay going prices for good units, so in order to get the top handle experience and believe they are getting the next best thing- this is where they look.
They are not a great copy, not even a good copy most will say- but for the money they initially make a chain spin around a bar until something breaks or lets go.

For $400 USD- I would not touch one, hell for $50 USD I wouldn't, but then I have no need- have 3 genuine 200T's and a couple of 201T's that will see me out.

I have no interest in the Stihl 200T copy
 
I missed my 200T and knew how those ran in past. So I bought a G111 in 2018 to see how they were. Have around $200 in it give or take some TMD shipped.

Been using it alot this year in storm clean up.

Yes with just the whole screen unit pulled just like I did my 200T it cuts just like it. 200T If I recall right it was $589 new when they replaced them.
