sanmigmike, some collectors wives claim if they put itching powder in their husbands' shorts before they go wandering off unchaperoned to places where they might be exposed to chainsaws, it seems to cut down on the number of strange saws that show up back at the homestead..... others claim that it doesn't seem to work all the time and might even cause the poor fools to jump too quick into dubious deals and end up paying too much for the worthless pieces of junk they drag home....
Those of us who have no wives to harrass us about the saws just have to figure out how to cope with the CSC syndrome in our own way.....
Here's the best way to deal with all the clutter:
As soon as you learn that you have bought some new old saws.... again.....,
come back here to the forum immediately and send a PM to several members.... Me first, always!.... Tell us exactly what you've done and how many saws you need to get rid of to recover your composure from the shocking surprise at finding out you brought home yet another bunch of chainsaws, totally unawares that they were following you home..... and to assuage your guilty feelings about having fallen, yet once again, for the chronic temptation of allowing yet another bunch of saws to somehow follow you home.... Then tell each of us.... Me first, always.... that you will be shipping out, pre-paid, however number you need to get rid of to clear up some walking space in the bathroom and kitchen, then box 'em up good and ship 'em!!
That's the best way!!
The next best way is to go gather up your two oldest complete and running chainsaws, box 'em and weigh 'em and get shipping rates to my address for 'em, put shipping labels to my address on 'em.... post a For Sale post in the Trading Post forum, and when someone pays for 'em, go ship 'em out!!
Be firm...... No cure is yet known for your condition, but you can learn how to live with it.... and by following one of the above prescriptions, still lead a somewhat "normal" life....
