Other side of the coin:

I don't post my number. Too many flakes and trolls out there (no offense Niko!). If they respond to my posting I give them general information and ask for a phone number to discuss the item, answer questions, or to set something up.

If I don't get a phone number, it does not go any farther. Their number first and speaking to them on the phone works as a screening tool for me. Gives me a small amount of control as the seller.

If I get lots of responses, I am not swamped with phone calls, even days later, from guys who print the ad but don't call right away.

same here. seems to the best method. most email responses are just bs

Local pick-up sharpener, great price!

The latest, redesigned version:

" New features include a redesigned chain clamping system, self centering chain vise, self compensating pivot adjustment, easy chain advancement wheels and a
torsion spring. All controls and adjustments allow you to match virtually any grinding angle you want. "

Much real/functional difference between said features on the newest version, and this one in the listing...?? Does this older unit lack ALL of the above-mentioned features, or just some? Whether all, or some, is it substantially more difficult to use, or just a matter of convenience/speed?

Thanks.

..you could strap them on your feet have scary redikulus stoopid dangerous fun.....

I've never used a new one, that looks the same as my old 511. I have heard the self centering vise is worth having, but you can buy it and retrofit it to an older machine.

Yes, thanks.....I had certainly considered that option, but one never knows how much a mfgr. will gouge for parts/upgrades.... I did go down and grab it today....and, while I was there, had to make a deal on the nice H-D Baldor buffer unit.... - Love the smell of heavy American steel in the morning.

That's a good saw but way overpriced. Mine was very very close to NOS and its a John Deere, and I didn't give that much for it.

A trip across the Bay Bridge Tunnel would have put you underwater on the purchase.

We still got Twinkies in Canada. Maybe I should trade for saws.
