Hello,

I have a tree in front of my house that is ready to be cut down. You cut it, and the wood is yours free. You will be saving hundreds of dollars. I did not realize how expensive fire wood is. Call me if you are interested.

Thanks,

Ivette.

Amen, Brother.

Can I get an Amen?

AMEN!

Ok. not to be too nitpicky but he would be turning you in for libel - false & malicious publication printed (posted on craigslist) for the purpose of defaming a person...

But there isn't anything that you've done that isn't true so, in a sense, the d-bag is defaming himself. Neat, huh?

PS. I'm not a lawyer just got the definition from here:

It's people like you who give the posters on Craigslist a bad name. You wrote in your posting below "I am 1 guy who simply loves to buy, fix, repair, and COLLECT stihl chainsaws."

How dumb can you be? You also posted your telephone number. Did you forget that you also have a tree service. And! You buy and sell chainsaws. If any doubt, look up the number on Google.

First posted this listing.

Now read your other posting below. At least change your telephone number.

Hello craigslist users!

I'm buying certain stihl chainsaws for my personal use and collection. Running condition preferred.. However, I would consider non running models as well.

I am available just about anytime to take a look at what you have for sale.

Please contact me 612 281 1440.

Thank you.

OH.. this is not a commercial business. I am 1 guy who simply loves to buy, fix, repair, and COLLECT stihl chainsaws.

I don't advertise or look for ways to resell them. I either use them personally or let my friends and family use them. I have given many to my family. So Please stop flagging my listings.

When I think of some elderly lady whose husband was in the tree service for many years and died so now she is going to give this fool her saws for his collection (in memory of her husband) It makes me sick. Finding a good deal is one thing but this guy is a vulture.

I hope he tries something. I would take it to a jury trial and bring copies of his past postings. They were all scams.

Nuff said.. Time to get back on the topic.

Dalmatian90 · 11-02-2009, 10:08 AM

You're insulting vultures.

They just take away carrion -- stuff that's already dead.

This yack off is actively trying to deceive people.

Sounds like it could be good if he isn't trying to get rich. A little too far for me to go.

I'm new to the site and only read a few pages, this cracks me up. When Dad retired back in 86, I let the business go. These are all the same old stories. When I was younger large oaks in the area would go 4' in dia and maybe 100' to 110'. A couple times a year people would call and want to know how much we would give them to take the tree down, over the house! He'd say some thing like, "Well, with out seeing it, I'd say at least $1000." You could just feel the smile on their face. Then he'd add, "But you'll have to pay in Cash." CLICK. I'll leave wood by the street with a free sign on it, and I understand every one doesn't have the source of wood that I do. I only keep straight easy to split oak and give every thing else away. Well, I do keep Locust and Fruit woods, too. But, I wouldn't PAY to cut any thing down. If a friend, or friend of a friend, told me they had a seasoned on the stump, dead oak, on a wooded lot where I didn't have to clean any thing up, just make it safe, I might do it. There's just some thing about the idea of having to PAY to do HARD work that evades me, Joe.

I have 2 large trees that I need removed. If you remove them the lumber/firewood is yours. One is a VERY large maple tree that has no knots in the wood at all until about 30-40 feet up the tree I would say. Both trees would probably need equipment to be removed as they're both very large. Both are hanging over the house and I will only allow someone to cut them down if they do it right as I don't want to risk any damage to my house or power lines. I maybe willing to pay a small fee, but not too much. Thanks

The right way to do "It" is hire the professional. If you pay peanuts; You get monkeys.

Do you have a firewood business? Do you heat your home with wood? Are you experienced at felling large oak trees? I have two large oaks that need to go, one is white, and one is red. Both are big and need to be felled. Looking for someone with experience, probable need to top out the tree and then cable it down. If you are willing to bring it down the wood is yours... guessing at least a couple of cords...

He's back, this time with a new phone number. I love the way he ignores all of the listings from people who actually want to SELL their saws.I encourage one and all to contact our boy regarding the treasure you'd like to give away.

Seems like a totally different one, probably legitimate.
Rather than compete with a bunch of buyers he is looking for someone who wasn't thinking of selling or doesn't want to do the effort of an ad. whole different target audience. I've had good results doing that withmotorcycles.

or, he may be aiming at the saw 'finder' who will come up with the model you want but doesn't have to run a sell ad that may attract public attention. those are scum bags.
