CL Laugh of the Day-The Gear

[dougand3]

Here's an aberration...Poulan is spelled correctly. But, alas, Thing didn't make it from the garage to the computer room.

 

[KodiakII]

I don't even know where to start on this ad...what the heck does he think it is spelled wrong on the saw, the indictment of our educational systems continues from there!

They walk among us, and they breed

 

[Ashful]

Maybe his iPhone spell checker got him. How else would he have come up with "carburetor breeder"?

 

[D8Chumley]

I thought that also, but my thinking was he could have checked it himself before he posted it. Funny nevertheless

That is what it thought, but I can't believe he wouldn't check it before hitting the post button. The gene pools don't run very deep in that part of the province though...so who knows!

 

[rwilly]

I didn't know where else to post this.

There is an ad on Seattle CL for a "Johns Big Red Saw. I think he means a Jonesred? Its an 80cc saw, he posted a video for it and it sounds good, but it sure looks old. He is asking $300.00. Might be a fair deal if parts are still available.

More than retail. I guess the value is going up now that they no longer sell them.

I wonder if you could substitute a pike or bream?

Nice. Must have been cutting some tough fish with it, the chain is wonky.

 

[D8Chumley]

Quite a bargain for a non running saw lol

 

[BrotherBart]

He tried to tuna the carp but it floundered and eel perch it in your hands for chub change.

 

[SidecarFlip]

I ofttentimes wonder if people take the time to read the ad they are going to post???

And a brand no one has heard of....might be one of those Chinese copies of an old Japanese design (Zenoah?) that Northern Tool sold for 1-2 years before they said "Hey! We can't sell this crap!"

 

[blades]

Problem with NT is they did sell that c... - image suffered due to it. Not to worry though you can still waste money on these at the big box stores - buy the extended warranty and get a new one every other week. Won't even need special oils - just used crankcase oil.

 

[SidecarFlip]

I have to confess, in a moment of desperation I bought a Tanaka top handle arborists saw, it was real cheap and it's a great saw. Sometimes cheap is actually good. Not too often though.

The adage 'you get what you pay for' is often not true, but 'you don't get what you don't pay for' is usually true.

Maybe this is off-topic, but it is bad=a$$ (broken link removed to http://rmn.craigslist.org/grd/5030073087.html)

 

[SidecarFlip]

Those are a tank. When I was a kid, the guy next door had one, basically a lawnmower engine with a cutter bar. Heavy, very heavy and cumbersome. Collectible, sure is. Usefull, probably not (unless you want a hernia)...lol

Reminds me of the old snowmobiles with the Kohler 4 stroke engines. The carb sat right between your legs and if you took off the air cleaner (for more power) and it spit back, it BBQ'd your gonads.... Those were the days.

I have one similar. It is the equivalent of carrying around an 8HP Briggs and Straton with a bar attached.

 

[SidecarFlip]

Made for back in the day when young men didn't play with I-pods and have cell phones....lol Nice collectillible though.

And if so, do any of them ever ask themselves, "If I were looking to buy one of these and wanted to know I was buying from somebody trustworthy, would I respond to an ad written like this?"

 

[SidecarFlip]

You guys have me reading CL ads for entertainment now. My wife is beginning to think my retirement isn't all that good....
