This is a 917 series by Roper, it runs well.
vintage craftsman chainsaw

Same seller, really clean, but spendy McCinderblock.
McCulloch Pro Mac 610 chainsaw

Homelite Magnesium.........$$?
Antique Homelite Chainsaw

That 610 is at least in good condition. Way more than what I'd pay for one of those............but he's more in the "real world" than many McCinderblock sellers.

That Homelite is an EZ-6. I have one of those waiting in line to be put back together. Good old 5ci/82cc Homelite. He states nothing about internal condition, and the external condition isn't anything to brag about. That's a $25-$50 saw (depending on the P/C condition) at most methinks.


Not me. I've had it in my watch list since the first time you mentioned it a week or so ago. Somebody bid on it shortly after you posted the link last week (and it sat at one bid for a few days)............then the bid was gone. For a few more days there were zero bids on it.......and now there is a bidder again. If I had the spare $$$ I'd certainly bid on that saw. If the bidder gets it for near the starting bid price, they're doing pretty well IMHO.

--I would think that last one is a strawman bidder
 
That is the problem!!! I'd have gone over there as soon as he returned my call but he wouldn't let me. He told me he was out of town and I couldn't go until today. If I'd have known Paypal would have sealed the deal, I would have offered it. Didn't think he would sell stuff if he was not going to be home until today. I started trying to get ahold of him at 7:00 AM.... Anyway, the deal is done now. New owner can pipe in if they want.

Seller never returned my call so the deal may have been worked on the 17th.

I called soon after he posted (but apparently not soon enough).
 
Here are 2 great deals I found this week on CL.

Included was a stihl 32", 2 NOS Pioneer 34" and 7 NOS Husky branded Windsor 16"(.58). To my surprise the chain was some New 3/4 harvester chain, 2 loops of NOS 1/2" chipper and a 16" loop of some very pricy Rapco carbide.

Second one the ad tells all. :cheers: to the AS member that pointed it out to me (you is a good egg). I missed it due to the spelling. Turns out the seller found it at the scrap yard.:dizzy:
