You should have a fellow AS send you a saw?SawTroll said:Over here they cost about 900 USD, about 150 more for the "W", and that is a bargain, compared to some other saws .........
Biketrax said:You should have a fellow AS send you a saw?
maybe even bring one over for you and visit
wouldnt that be a huge savings and afriendly visit?
rb_in_va said:Yeah, cause I go to Norway once or twice a week you know.:hmm3grin2orange:
Don't tell the Troll though!:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:
rb_in_va said:FYI to any considering this saw, the seller said he wouldn't take paypal, just money order. I wouldn't have a problem sending a money order to AS users, but not someone I don't know.
Buckeye said:The rest of the story:
We went back and forth via email for ten hours yesterday. The seller assured me that he sells 'all the time' on eBay, and only accepts Money Orders. He also demands that said MO be shipped via Priority Mail. When pressed, he offered to accept the funds via Western Union.
I asked for his eBay user ID and he provided two. One shows a Florida location with a +3 rating and no transactions since 5/2005. The other account has a North Carolina address, a +14 rating and no transactions since 2/2006.
The seller originally told me that the best offer he'd received was $175. When I started to get cold feet, he stated that he had a local buyer who wanted the saw and was going to pay via MO on Friday (payday), so I needed to overnight my payment or risk losing out to the 'other guy'. WTF would a local buyer use a MO instead of cash?
Maybe I'm a bit jaded, but my spidey-senses tell me to pass on this 'deal'.
Bailey's has a MS361 on eBay. It is $100 more, but I know that the saw actually exists, and I will have some degree of protection if there is a problem.

rb_in_va said:Hey, if it sounds too good to be true...
Buckeye said:The seller may be on the up and up, but $350 is a lot of money to me. I'm going to err on the side of caution for now. If he decides to accept PayPal, I will probably go ahead with the transaction. I'm not a big fan of PP, but they at least offer some degree of protection to both parties.
