I saw it on Ebay/Craigslist

I will bet those are Chinese knockoffs.

No pics visible enough to see the saws. Website is a shell with no physical address or phone number listed. Also unknown from Google search. Will post as a thread in chainsaw forum.

Here's a listing for a new stihl 200t from a seller with no sales or feedback and offers no PayPay. He's also promoting sales to his website for so-called new equipment at discounted prices. Something smells fishy to me. Will be watching this listing.

The eBay seller is in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. That sounds familiar.

That's my gut feeling too. Have there been chinese MS200T copies out before? If not, then it was only a matter of time. Arborists are in love with the things and will gladly pay good money for them (and #### on anyone who dares state that the saws are overpriced). There's obviously a market for 'em if they can catch buyers unaware......

You going to drive over there and check them out?

Do it JP. Go check out "Powersawz" for us.......

No address or phone number listed on website. Also zippo from a Google search. What they do have is a way of collecting your money.

Tell them you live in Scranton and don't do PayPal. Ask if you can mail them a check or do a local pickup with cas.

So no way to contact them if anything should not be to your liking. Any business so hidden does not deserve my money.

It is about an hour away, and Wilkes-Barre is a pretty big city. Without a street address I would be SOL. The small pic of a chainsaw on a box is very typical of the chinese knockoff pictures that I have seen before.

And Stihl has a royal coniption fit if you sell their product over the net. I contacted a seller through Alibaba about one of those 075 clones. That was as far as it went.

I am about 99% sure anything saw related you see on alibaba is a hoax-scam.


I have seen a bunch of saws I personaly new listed on that site and
being sold for much cheaper and, or if you ordered 50 at a time.

Including rare saws like 090AV's and other rare gear drives like the 090G, 041G and the Homelite 770 GS stick shift
along with all the popular pro saws.

Monkey Ward Saw

Chain Saw

Interesting little saw popped up here on CL. Anyone know much about this little chip-tosser? Yes, I know I have been underground for a few months, but things have been a bit demanding here lately without much in the way of discretionary time. It may lighten up come June or July but I'm hanging on for now. Have not forgot my arboristsite buddies, just been distracted by other demands.
Any thoughts on this? It may be hard for me to pass up a monster saw like this on the local market. 30cc pulling a 10" bar? Yikes!!

 

[Eccentric]

That's a Remington Mighty Mite. Neat little saw.

Looks like a pretty good deal on an echo powerhead, for sale in the classifieds by a member here.

The scary part is someone that dumb uses a chain saw..............

You could probably post that listing in the WTF? Thread since it includes a picture.
