Yea I got all the ads too, pick up that 036 for me would ya?

Oh yea back to the original ? What are you gonna cut with that 018? Just a limb saw, & occasionaly cut out a pinched saw, or do want it for more?

Wow! I can't believe how much Stihl equip is listed in your area. I'm bit jealous. A C

Yes - exactly for what you said. Is $75 a reasonable price? Thanks!

Just dont low ball him or the price will go up

$ 75.00 isn't bad as long as the saw's in the posted condition, I think I'd grab it. It should make a very decent backup saw. Let us know. A C

018 will surprise you how fast it goes from "backup" to "primary" for anything under 8 inches.

Great guys - I spoke with the owner and he agreed to give me first look when he returns from a trip on Friday - as long as the compression is good, I'll likely grab it - I'll let you all know. Thanks! Cheers!

Wow, that's a lot of saws listed. I'm lucky if there is one saw listed a week around here. And if it is, the chances of it being decent and reasonably priced are slim.

I noticed the same thing and Im in the state just south of him, there might be 2-3 saws a week to even consider in my location.
