Thats a good deal there, excellent hunting. I like those kinda deals where you can just snag a "no brainer", because you were in the right spot at the right time and acted quickly.

Mine is a real beast, you'll love it. I got mine for the same kinda deal, cheap and had to snatch it up. Never looked back, it's a little heavier than my 55 but when you need some power, you've got one to do it. I still use my 55 mostly, but really enjoy when I have an excuse to bring out the 372xp!

Congrats on the saw, but I find it wise to refrain from discussing the price paid for a saw. If you decide to sell it can definitely be a hindrance if some think you got a great deal. They often feel you should pass that part of the bargain along to them.

i would not have mentioned the price if i wasn't planning on keeping it,,, i have heard and read nothing but good things about the 372,, so it will stay in the stable,,, it just dawned on me,, i need to add it to my sig

Understood, but things change and so do minds. It's just a piece of hard-learned knowledge. I have seen it playout many times here.
Now, ship that saw to your favorite modder and get it running like it should.

LOL, tell them you bought a second one for $800 and pass that "saving" onto them. That will balance the good deal out.

At that price, I'm surprised someone else didn't snag it while You were talking to the guy on the phone! Rep for being in the right place at the right time. You're going to like that saw.

Edit: I tried to rep You but I guess I gotta spread it around some.
