Correct.
What do you have more of, 4200 or 5200?
Correct.

I know for a fact that there was an email sent about 2 seconds after that lead was posted. How are you getting the saw and no one else is getting replies?
Gary is the master of finding saws he wants, no matter where they are.
Personally I'm fine with collectors holding on to a bunch of saws. Preserving them for the future. Yeah, price gets inflated on some, but deals still come along.
Think how many of them were simply used up, burned up and tossed decades ago.
When the big countervibes pop up around here on occasion they are usually pretty reasonable. $160 for my 4200 from the original owner, my buddy got a nice 5400 this week for $140. Occasionally some guy will look at eBay prices and try to get $300 for a clapped out 5200, but it won't sell.
Point is, big time collectors (or hoarders if you want to use that term) are keeping a number of them safe, dry, etc for the future.
That's another of my holy grail sawsHope so. I'll just have to find solace with the Echo 900 I'm picking up tomorrow.

I'm an echo fan, obviously.Oh yeah? What makes it "holy grail" worthy for you? You think I'll be disappointed in how it cuts compared to my Makita 6421?

It's not about cutting speed to me. Just the fact it's a 90cc echo is good enough for me.
Just like I want a good running echo twin. Not for the power, just the cool/weird factor.

I sent him a message at 7:42 PM EST on Tuesday, he responded at 8:23 PM. Called and spoke with him and found out he had PayPal and would ship. He boxed the saw, gave me the dimensions and weight and I sent him the shipping label and he dropped it off at the Post Office yesterday. Package will be here tomorrow, he took the ad down last night.
I think it is sad that some people are hording so many big Poulans. The reality is unless you pay a highly inflated fictional "fair value" for one of those saws many people will never see one. In the end after the saws have sat for many years and not being in wood they will be inherited by the family. The family in turn will most likely want nothing to do with the saws and will sell cheap or scrap for pennies on the dollar. What a waste of many years of good use or fun.

My understanding is that Echo only made approximately 8000 900EVL saws.
That's a good one right there
