Heres a steal on a 6401

[CaseyForrest]

The guy even admits to working for HD. And is the 6401 really selling for $800 new??

I asked him this.....

Do you have an actual picture of the saw you are selling? I see you have several listed, are you willing to part with one at the $205 that most HD sell them to the public for?

 

[computeruser]

HA!

I asked him a similar question, too.

 

[begleytree]

LMAO
yeah, I asked him the same thing too. $800? really? no one tell my dealer!

These tools belong to me and have been personally mainted by me. Every one comes with a new blade, air filter and spark plug and has been tested. Look for pics soon.

 

[dtnodya]

Well .... that clears things up .....

 

[begleytree]

[precaud]

But... he's a POWER SELLER... he must be telling the truth!

 

[royta]

Dude, you're getting a new blade. What more could you ask for?

Ask him "What is the diameter of the blade"

 

[CaseyForrest]

Hes certainly not hiding the fact that these were rental saws, or that they came from HD. I wonder what HD headquarters would think about having ex rental equipment being sold on Ebay with the rather obvious association still being made to HD.

In any event, I shot him off a reply to my reply....

Good luck to you. A new 7900/7901 goes for $600.

Not to mention, this saw has the advantage of being Pre-broken-in, you are paying someone elses's time/labor for performing this valuable service for you.:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

MSRP $800? HD sells that saw new for $569.00 (or something close). Another seller listed a used 6401 for $205, and it sold for $325.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


So does this mean we should be buying saws at HD for 205 and then insta-flipping them on ebay to make 125 a pop???? This is tempting ... where's the catch? Someone :help:

 

[precaud]

eBay has created a new generation of bounty hunters who make a living doing exactly this sort of thing. This guy actually seems a little more legit than most of them, who haven't a bloody clue about what they're selling. All they know is what folks on eBay seem willing to pay for something as-is.

BY THE TIME YOU GO GET IT GAS AND TROUBLE, PAY TAX ON IT, TAKE PHOTOS, MIND THE LISTING, SELL IT, HOPE YOU GET A GOOD BUYER, GET YOUR MONEY,,,, PAY EBAY THEIR PORTION, PACKAGE IT,, I THINK YOUR 125.00 IS NOT REALLY THERE..... YOU WOULD MAKE SOME MONEY BUT,,,,, I DONT HAVE THAT MUCH TIME I GOT ONE FOR 205 AND WHEN I GET TIME IM GONNA MAKE A 7900 OUT OF IT JUST,,,,,WELL,,,,, BECAUSE ITS THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THA POINT CASEY WAS MAKING WAS THE DUDE WAS LISTING THE SAW AS AN 800.00 VALUE WHEN NEW,,, :monkey: OF COURSE ITS AROUND 600.00 DROVE OUT THE DOOR,,,,,,,,,,,
:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: SO I SUPPOSE THERE IS A CATCH!!!! LOL

Like Precaud mentioned, lots of people are doing just that.

The seller I listed seems to have listed the saw @ the price he paid for it, and hoped it would get bid on. It worked. Especially if he has no need or attachemnt to the item.

I did something similar with a musical keyboard I found at a garage sale. Sold it for 25x what I paid for it.
