Wow... I had no ideas that owning 20 saws was required before posting on the site. I'm done with this post, and done with this site.
This guy has every right to "whine", I don't care if they sent him a new 660, if that's not what they advertised, and he doesn't want it, then they should absolutely refund the money AND pay for shipping. By the way, another guy posted that he also got a different saw than pictured, so this was no random "mistake", they are obviously using generic pictures for all the 044's, in that case, they should have a clear disclaimer posted. I think a lot of you are missing the point, it doesn't matter whether he got a good deal or not, it's about being misled by the seller. If you bought a truck based on the picture, but then got a different truck, would you say "you got just what you bid on, a running truck" - NO, you would want the :censored: truck you saw in the picture. I'm not sure why you guys are sticking up for this seller so much, very strange IMO.
well, we are taking into account his 50 plus posts about this same saw.
He has started 5-7 threads about it already.....................
Most of us know when our chain is getting jerked a bit.................

WOW! I want to sign up for the "buying a used 044 and getting a new 660 program" & I promise I won't even think about giving negative feedback: and I'm not even a Stihl person.
From the looks of the pictures of the two saws, it looks like you got the better of the two pictured even if the stickers are missing. According to the selling prices, you got a saw that sold for more money and paid less. Most people who sell items and give you the option to purchase more than one for the same price don't even use more than one picture to describe all of the saws as long as they are the same model. If you are not happy with it, the seller offered to give your money back, thats all they can offer. The auction says they don't ship, so most buyers pick up the item in person. If someone picked up the item for you (that is the time the ID should have been clarified) and it wasn't the one you purchased, the seller had no way of knowing you were getting the wrong saw, nor would they have any reason to believe the saw was going to be shipped elsewhere, hence the not offering a shipping re-imbursement. If I were going to be listing 10 saws of the same type, I would show one picture to show a general description & state that all were in working condition with cosmetic blemishes and that would be it. It seems like the seller has done the right thing by offering a refund.
Are you referring to me?
As far as the saw goes, I still feel like I got a bargain- $144 for the saw and its a runner (haven't cut with it yet) so I have no complaints there. My complaint is that the saw I thought I was getting is not the one I got because the seller screwed up the pictures in their ad. Yes it has some bangs and scuffs, but it's a used saw so I can't cry over that. I don't want to send the saw back, because even if they refunded all my shipping costs (which would be tough to do since I had a friend pick up and ship the saw to me since the seller didn't offer shipping) I wouldn't likely be able to get another decent 044/440 for the money I'd get back.
Here is the saw I bid on- click here for link.
Here is my thread with photos of the saw I got- click here for link.
Here is a link to the auction that has the photo of the saw I actually received- click here for link.
As far as condition of the saw goes I don't have a leg to stand on, because in the auction it does say condition is not guaranteed (otherwise I could really throw a fit because the sprocket nose on the bar is hosed) but it's very easy to see that the saw I got is NOT the one in the auction, and to me that is a misrepresentation of the item. I've never left anyone negative feedback on Ebay before, and the amount of thought I've put into doing so is kind of rediculous. I just wish they would give a partial refund and we could put this behind us... then I'd leave positive feedback and life would be good.
Gee fish, if you keep on, next thing you know you'll be telling us that Santa Claus and Jesus aren't real.
