Department stores:

Tony, your thread reminds me of the time I walked into, I think, a K-mart, mabe and Ames store. This was years ago. They had somes small chainsaws for sale. They had one on display, asking full price, for it. I picked it up and could see that it had a bit of use. Removed the gas cap and you could, of course smell a gas oder. Removed the oil cap and bone dry. Couldn't see any oil on the bar or chain and the chain needed some touch up work, or be replaced. I found out later, that the saw had been used to cut up a bunch of pallets. I put the thing down and walked away. Should have mabe dickered with them, but did they know enough as you say to put oil in the gas or what kind of crap gas, did they use. Didn't know enough to put bar oil in the tank. Probably, wouldn't know enough to use the oil plunger to lube the chain. Guess you never know, buyer be ware. Lewis.
