Is this a good deal?

For the occasion I might need a 25" bar and don't want to spend a lot of money

Thanks!

bar price seems good, but $20 shipping seems like a rip off.

True, I was on my phone when I got the notification that it was re-listed. It didn't give me shipping prices on my phone when I opened the link. $20 is a lot, it says expedited shipping and I don't see an option for any other standard rate.

There's others like this Oregon Power Match 24" with free shipping but its more at $85.

I'd think the Oregon bar would be better quality? Not sure about the Forester but it does come with a replacement tip. Don't really NEED it but moreso WANT it. Doesn't have to be now either, I can wait. Thanks for the reply chazcarr

Mystery chain on the Forester bar. That's a deal breaker for me.

Oregon PowerMatch bars are good. LGX chain is a good chain. eBay deal is similar to Baileys, except you get free shipping.

That's what I was thinking

Well after a few Q&A back and forth to the Forester guy, and he claimed it was a Carlton Pro chain, I figured for less than a dollar more I got the Oregon bar with LGX chain ( $80 and free shipping). I didn't see the need for the replacement tip being high priority. Wife says its my Fathers Day present. She couldn't have picked a better gift for me
