I just found a Husqvarna 576 XP with a 28" b/c on their website for $386,brand new.If it sounds too good to be true,99% of the time it is.So I added the saw to my "cart",and when I went to check out as GUEST checkout,they still want your whole life history and mothers maiden name.Before I give that info ,I would like to see if anyone here has any experience with this company.Says they have been in business since 2012.Any info would be appreciated,and I am going to keep studying the web for any more info.

Look at their contact info on the website. If they show a phone number, call it. I found a similar website that showed their address in Arizona. I called the phone number and it was in Alabama, but was not a working number. I googled the address and it was bogus.

After some research,it seems there are a couple dozen of these so-called small equipment dealers,and they mostly feed off of people buying riding mowers.

If you are looking for a big powerful chainsaw for a relatively cheap price that would blow your mind with its power try buying a NeoTec I purchased the NS 892. They are a Stihl clone and I think FarmMatic is the Husqvarna Clone but after watching 100s of reviews I found the NeoTec was the way to go. People claim they start on the 2nd to the 5th pull. And sometimes you have to buy a new fuel cap as they can have small holes in them. My experience with NeoTec was the bar was the nicest bar I ever owned and the chain was beautiful and shining . I almost cut myself getting the chain out. I've never had a Stihl or Oregon chain that sharp out of the box. For me the saw was a ***** to start after 10 pulls I pulled out the spark plug and it was wet. Fuel was leaking out of the exhaust. I dried the spark plug left it out shut the saw off and pulled the cord about 20 times. Put the plug back in and pushed the cap down good and solid on the plug. 2 more pulls and the saw started coming to life a couple more pulls and it was running nice. The chain was spinning fast on ideal so it was out of tune so I shut it down screwed the high and low ideal screw all the way in and then backed them out one and a quarter turns and the saw was screaming. I adjusted to LA screw just a touch and then the low ideal a touch more probably did not have to do that. I shut it down the started it several times and then cut my first log with it only using the tip of the saw as much as I could as that is where the least power is. The chain was throwing chips not dust and the top end of the bar never slowed down bogged out or even lost a beat of power. I have no experience with these fake saws but this one claims to be a 92cc running a 28" bar of course it's a clone of the Stihl MS 660 I have never ran one of those but most of my life I have ran the Stihl 026, 029, 036, 044, and the MS 311, the Husqvarna 455 rancher and this saw out performed them all. Just a thought to think about at about a third of the cost of a name brand.
 
Rule for online shopping...

If the price is shockingly good and you haven't used the site before... it's a scam.

If the price is shockingly good and you have used the site before... it's a scam spoofing as the site you actually used before.

If the price is shockingly good and you have used the site before and the metadata checks out... it's a price error and your order's gonna get cancelled 99% of the time.



Ran into a bunch of these when I was looking for a muffler for my Echo 900... apparently they tend to scrape the same listings a lot of the time and just stick (pretty much random) prices on stuff... and one thing that got scraped HAPPENED to be an extremely hard to find CS900 muffler. Price wasn't even odd... Like $50 if memory serves... but then there was the 372 XP with B&C for... about $50... and the Stihl 661 Magnum for... About $50.

It's pretty easy to find the scams now... but in the next few years? Oh it's gonna get a LOT harder when they start to learn what prices are tempting but still believable; and get better at creating believable sites.
