WOW! This guy not only manages to completely screw up the name, but then puts "Brand new" and "used it twice" in the very same sentence. I guess he needs a lesson on just what brand new means.

I have a Box Elder tree that died last year and needs to come down. Tree is next to neighbors driveway and my power lines are on the other side of tree. You will probably need a boom to remove safely, thanks. Call anytime (810-210-9032).

what a joke wonder what kind of idiot would fall for that one
 
Not CL but garage sale, so I figure it is close. A story most on this site have probably been through more than once.

Husband of a close friend of my wife wanted to get a saw to clear brush in their property. About anything would work fine for the application, but I offered to let him run various ones to compare and decide. He never did, but yesterday he found one on a gs. He is thrilled, and the story he got is this: Original owner, never ran or had a saw before, paid $250 new last year. He ran less than a tank of gas through it (premix I hope, but not known for sure. I digress.) and decided he liked this sawing thing so much he went out and bought a $500 Stihl and thus never uses this one anymore.

Tim paid $60, was thrilled, and the owner even showed him how to sharpen the ‘blade’. (Apparently he learned how to sharpen in the first half tank, but I digress again.) I don’t want to dampen that enthusiasm in anyway. In that situation I would never say ’your new baby is really ugly’, but even my wife knew why we politely moved the conversation along without comments.

So, the original owner learned in a half tank: how to sharpen, why he wanted a better saw, and that he got stung at $250. At $60 it was a fair price and will serve Tim’s needs quite well…

The saw was almost new, and had a really good name and reputation.

It was a McCulloch……….

Wow. He's got 28 cubic feet of wood. Split and stacked, maybe what, 50 cubic feet (if we stack really loosely!). So he's got .4 cords there, and he wants $250 for it? Nice work if you can get it! That's $625 per cord! :hmm3grin2orange:

Hunting Land for Bow Hunter - $1 (Southern Adams County)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 2010-08-28, 11:11AM CDT
Reply to: [email protected] [Errors when replying to ads?]

I have 80 plus acres of premium deer hunting land near Briggsville and the Dell, WI on CTH P and looking for someone who is willing to mow, cut trees, make trails, plant food plots, costruct deer stands for the ability to have limited bow hunting priveleges (no gun hunting). It is very important that you have a brush mower, tractor, plow and chainsaw and strong work and hunting ethics. The property is in QDM along with 1000 plus acres of adjacent neighbors properties. Many monster bucks have been taken from this property. If you are willing to put in the time and treat this poperty as your own we are willing to give you the time you need on the stand to shoot a monster (10 point or larger and well beyond the ears) are the minimum. We have 3 family members that hunt and work on this land with Bow mainly on weekends once or twice a month, weekdays are normaly open along with some late weekends. As rut gets closer a detailed schedule is created to prevent any problems. We all work together to make sure everyone has a good chance of seeing or shooting a monster. We have 4 trail cams also on the property. Lots of work needs to be done before the season so if interested please reply ASAP. We get along well with our neighbors and would expect you to do the same. Please provide us with your background in hunting, food plot experience, equipment you have, and schedule you could work. Only reply if you are willing to get dirty and work extremely hard for the chance of shooting a dream buck!

I am assuming that is to be "ex-husband". Otherwise, probably soon will be!:popcorn:
