Poulan 2800 16" 45cc for $33 - Stihl 026 for $40

I'm not bragging ... it just feels good to get killer deals on a saw once in a while. And both in the same day!!!

The Poulan 2800 for $33 is barely used with Original bar and Chain.

What a treat.

The Stihl was seized ... not sure why. But after some work I got it loose. Purged it with a blend of strait gas, carb cleaner and liquid wrench wash and many cord pulls to blow out and loosten the seated piston up a bit.

Got 170 psi but can't sustain a run with it yet.

It is in overall good condition once I figure out why it dies when I throttle it and the choke kicks off. ... Dirty carb? Air leak? Cracked fuel line? dono yet.
 
My guess is that since he was willing to ship internationally it was foreign bidders. Prices of saws are crazy in other countries. I have looked into it some in my travels with the military and it is mind boggling what some countries pay for things. Its bad enough up here in Alaska. It was probably a pretty good deal for them!
