Just a refurbished hero 4 silver. Would have liked the deal with the extra battery charger + sd card, but I couldn't justify the wait, or if they would even do it again. Figured if went with a cheapo one I would probably be buying one again knowing me. I was quite surprised, with how long they have been out now, at how long I had wait to get a refurbished one off of their ebay store.

Hero 4 silver is a good one that's what I run. Nothing wrong with refurbished especially if they warranty it. Go on Amazon for extra batteries and charger.

Already got some Wasabi batteries for it for $20. Not bad at all considering the Wasabi comes with 2 batteries along with some other charging stuff, over the gopro version that costs double and only comes with one battery.

CAD is rearing it's ugly head again, taking a stroll through the trading post makes me seriously want to sell the 017 and get a different saw. 026, something either in 40-50cc range, or 70+. Already got the 2.3 craftsman which knocks the socks off the stihl, leaving the only potential reason I would keep it for the potential use for chainsaw carving. What do the 017's in good condition go for anyway?

About 150-ish to 225. Depending on condition.

Good evening gentlemen, been following your thread for awhile, seem like a great bunch of men and some interesting reading, watch out for that Texan though lol.

That much? Wow, makes it even more tempting now. Well sorta, people can buy a new 170 with tax for about 200, why would they want to buy a 20 year old used saw for so close to the same price?

Nothing against Echos, but you just don't see a lot of them around here. No dealers anywhere close until you get to the cities, same goes for Huskies as well. Stihl is where it's at in my town. I suppose it a good thing you never see those echos much on CL.

Ahh, the one from Texas isn't usually the problem, it's the one that's always saying he's camping or something instead of hanging out on this thread like he should be!

Or cooking on a Coleman stove and posting a picture of it.

The rarity keeps my addiction in control! I have a local Echo dealer in my rural town...

Wasn't to far from your neck of the woods this week, just got back from Chattanooga from a well needed break.

Had a good time, most of the time we come up about twice a year. Been to Knoxville once, long ride, had a GM training class for two days then had to drive to Lousiana for another two day class. Now that was a long trip.

I just came home with a 315 I believe, any interest?

Because a 20 year old chainsaw is considered vintage and made from magnesium, not the plastic crap. LOL

Nope the 017s are clamshell based, not mag. Many of the parts interchange with the 170 and the newer 171s though. Very little has changed except the plastics.

Oh btw, hello everybody! Been busy with work and whatnot, I did a little splitting and chopping with my double bit and then I made a chain and sharpened it

Run it yet, what kind?
