Just so you all know, I did PM the Skwerl and offer to send it to him for the $300 plus shipping, because he did speak up first. He declined. All I wanted to do was run a few tanks of gas through it.
Also, Dale said Brian made an offer by email, and he told him he'd think about it. At that point I made my offer and he accepted it, saving him the hassle of packing, shipping and all that.
So now the saw is mine, I got a great deal. It's everything Dale said, an 2002 model with very low hours, basically looks new. You can hod it up by the starter cord (good compression) and it starts on the first or second pull.
I really wanted to see how it stands up to the Stihl 460s I normally run. It will be fun to compare. Whether or not I keep the saw, I don't know. This time of year money is always tight.
You never know what you'll find when you meet another AS member, but Dale turned out to be a real nice guy. Glad to have met him.
