Thoughts on this Stihl MH290 on Craigslist?

Condition is everything.......Now 70.00 off list and no tax's is what your really looking at. So, condition condition condition!

I hear you Jay - unfortunately, I'm not one for knowing if the saw is in great shape, other than looking clean and sounding good! P.S. No sales tax in the great state of NH! ;-) Cheers!

If that saw has only been use 2 times there will be no ???????????'s about it. Take a look and offer a little lower if its perfect!

No question????? What if it had seen a less than desirable fuel oil mix? One never knows when buying used!

Almost forgot... Do yourself a favor- buy a Husky :lol: If you Stihl guys can do it so can I!! ;-P

My Dad bought a new husky about a year ago - not impressed (not and XP). Seemed light and cheap feeling. Like my Dolmar a whole lot better. Cheers!

Where did it come from, a big box store or a dealer? Can't say there is much I don't like about my new 555.

Looks like you might too late. Add deleted by author is what I got when I clicked on the link.

Looking for a second saw - does this seems like a good deal? Cheers!

Take a look at new ones at Still's in Manchester. I think they are $395.00 or so.

Bummer!

As for the Husky (from posts above), Dad bought it from a small dealer - I want to say it is a 455. Cheers!

All honesty there seems to be a bit of a love hate thing going on with the 455.
