hummmm
chainsaw 381 ms381 ms380 20"or 25"bar and oraginal st chain high quality | eBay

uhh, seller had made no previous sales and has no feedback and is selling the saw in the sealed box, or what looks like the tiny Chinese knockoff thats next to the big sealed box.

Somebody explain to a saw noob what the obvious scam is here....

 

[plumbcrazyjr]

its a scam no marking on box and really vague pic of saw

 

[plumbcrazyjr]

look at his other auction

look at his other auction

ok, i get it now, this guy is selling the chinese knockoff $100 saws for triple the price to people that are either stupid or ignorant.

I would be interested in screwing around i with that 100cc stihl knockoff for about $100, but not for $300....

Bingo!! The $125 shipping is somewhat offputting as well.

lol, read your reply and went back to examine the ebay listing while making the face in your avitar. Then i saw the $125 shipping quote with my own eyes and made the face at the bottom of your post. :hmm3grin2orange:

And the fact that the saw is a 1/4 size, photoshopped over the box and they didn't even bother to take care of the missing background in the handles?

I HATE when sellers list it in two places... Imagine taking the drive to buy the bar, and someone hits BIN.... puts the seller in a position to tell the 'local' no-way

Jonsereds/Poulan micro?

I cannot be 100% certain but I think this is a scam here. I have never seen anything in the documents that I have seen showing a Jonsereds rebadge of a Poulan Micro.

The decals look out of place on it and no model numbers on them either.

The seller says the saw is a canadian made Poulan but the Jonserseds decals say Sweden?

If the saw goes for very much I'm gonna look for some Jonsered stickers and some red paint!
It does look like the stickers on that saw are much newer than the saw is..

I do it on buy-it-nows all the time. (hope for a local, to avoid fees!)
Pretty much first one with the cash gets it.
But not on auctions.

I don't think they did either, but Craftsman did and that is probably where this guy got one with red paint. The decals look to be off a 630/670 and don't quite fit the starter housing perfect if you look closely.
