scored another saw today

[o8f150]

I know it is a poulan but it looks almost new.i had placed an ad for non running saws yesterday and a guy called me today and said he had 1 and asked if i wanted it. Guess i got a good deal on it. Going to take it apart tomorrow and do a MM on it and tune it and it will make a good backup saw or i might throw it in my truck tool box.

Funny that it even says, "pull back to reset" right on the brake lever. LOL
Not sure I could have taken it without explaining it to him but that's just me and, as the saying goes, "nice guys finish last".

What a tard should of gave him $10.

not the kind of thing i would brag about....me, i would have reset his CB and told him to have a Merry Christmas, and i would have had a nice ride with my wife to tell about!

I would pay someone to keep that thing if it were offered to me.

i would have if it was a stihl or echo or something and if it was his only saw. But he had a couple of other ones and one of them was a new 1. he said if something doesn't work right or breaks then he throws it in the corner and buys another 1. So there. I am not a bad guy at all

Curious. I tuned up two Poulans for a friend who got them from a guy that does the same thing (tosses them in a corner and buys another one). Is it a Poulan thing?

nice rationalization.....moral relativism as it is called. a poor excuse for lack of decency. you could have shown him the problem and if he chose to still sell it to you for $20, then have at it.

I thought when you do get them running you usually give them to people that is needing 1 and can't afford?

poulans are the desposable saws, when they don't work right, toss them in the garbage and buy another 1

if someones needs this 1 then they can have it. I have a guy in mind if he hasn't already gotten 1 yet

Good on ya for that one...

the way the economy is i figure this might be they way to help out a bit plus it gives me something to do

if my memory serves me correctly you aways find a way to bust my chops for some reason on every thread or post i make and i am tired of it. If you have the same attitude in person as you are on here then you need to get a life and stop being mad at the world. if it will help i will send you a 50 dollar bill and you can take that and go get laid. Maybe that will help your disposition a bit. You need to stop being so nasty towards people.

Darn! The title led me to expect photos of a torched P & C :monkey:!

 

[nmurph]

don't remember busting you on anything. you can't make a decent defense of your action so you attack me and play the victim, again. let me ask you, if you saw someone drop $20 on the ground, would you give it back or keep it bc they have obviously spent too much money on their clothing? how would you feel if a mechanic ripped you off bc you didn't know any better?? i'm not a hindu, but i do think what comes around goes around.
btw, would be interested in trading that saw for a cap gun?

The OP did nothing wrong...he didn't cheat, lie or use deception in any way. It's not his fault the seller/donator had crap for brains...Daddy can't go through life holding your hand all the time.

guess i was raised to help people, not to take advantage of them. i bought a saw a year or so ago that i was pretty sure had a tripped CB, but it required a tool or at least a big pair of pliars to reset. i made it clear that this was likely the problem. the seller told me to take the saw anyway. i did and was glad to do so, but i also didn't feel bad bc i had made the issue know to the seller. bargaining when buying is smart, but to blantantly take advantage of someone's ignorance is operating at a pretty low level.

I had one of those 3314 saws that I beat the far out of it for five years, gave it to my neighbor and she is still beating it to death.
