I'd like to think so.....but with some of the idiotic postings on there, its a toss-up! (sarcasm intended)I think the $11111 is just a way of saying "price negotiable."
Agreed. My sense is that the great majority of Craigslist sellers want more than their items are worth. At least if they list the price, a reader can quickly decide to ignore the ad. When there's no price given it's still probably a waste of time to call, but the cost (in time) of finding out for sure is higher. It's irritating to me as a shopper, and I doubt it plays to the sellers' advantage in most cases.
Here's one I was curious about. I even called. Despite the ad's wording ("One of the chain saws is a Husqvarna. The second one is a Husqvarna."), the saws are a Husky 55 and a Stihl MS290. But the sellers are basically computer illiterate and don't seem to understand what sort of information a buyer of such tools would want to know. Given the small chance of a deal working out, it's just not worth the trouble.
Come on, "straight shaft" chainsaws are always worth a little extra work
I emailed the seller -- he wants 140 cash for the ms250. I had asked if he would take 85.I think the $11111 is just a way of saying "price negotiable."
Dex, that 090 is a STEAL......IT'S AN "AV" (anti-vibe) model!!That 066 is a deal!!
For an 090 there is one by me for $850! With new 42"Bar. That alone is some money.http://mansfield.craigslist.org/tls/3874669358.html
Recently acquired a Husq 350 for $50 (brand new almost), and 026 (needed piston and rings) for $60, but I am only in about $110. I got 2 free running Poulans when I bought the 026!! And I just got a Quadrafire Castile for $300 off CL. Guy delivered it 2hr and 45 min from Pennsylvania! Hell of a guy!! And the stove ran!!
Good deals are out there, you just gotta jump on them!! FAST
And , my biggest money maker, 20 saws for 125 which included some runners (385xp, 268xp 55, 61) There are more that I'm forgetting, but it doesn't hurt to ask for their best price. The response might surprise you.
you mean like this POS here? The worlds only "chainsaw" that actually has a "blade"!!
