I sold this saw on ebay item number 300436707840
Sorry don't know how to do links yet. maybe someone can post it.
I sold this saw to the winning bidder. I communicated well,
Answered all emails, waited for the M.O. to arrive and carefully packed and shipped the saw. Described the saw to the best of my ability and look at the feedback i got.
I believe he is a member here.
I would like to know if you people would be as p$$#@sed off as i am.

Thanks for reading

Lee

I am FLOORED,
In the last 2 months i sold a few saws
and described then as parts or repair.
Pretty simple. And got 2 neutral feedbacks.
The first one was because the buyer couldn't
go cut wood. it needed a sprocket. So he said.
I have over a 1000 positive feedback and i find
these flaming idiots.

Thanks for reading. I know i'm just venting
but it just ticks me of.

I know what you mean. I'm beginning to hate ebay. The bad thing is it's the only outlet for a lot of these saws that some of us try to sell. I had a buyer the other day offer lower and then I countered back I would refund him shipping if he wanted it for the buy it now price. He thought I agreed to the lower price by that. We met in the middle to keep from problems but still.

That's a shame.... you basically gave the saw away for that price also. If he is a member here.... hopefully he removes the feedback. If he can't... he can have e-bay do it.

Yep, no matter what you're selling you have to describe it as a big smelly turd that no one should buy unless they are in the market for a......

God help you if it's a runner and you'd like to sell it as such. It's pretty annoying.

Yeah it's getting hard to sell a good running saw on there.

For some reason I've gotten more money from "parts saws" than I have ones that run. I've sold saws that were really ugly and some that are like new and I described them for what they were and almost consistently the ugly ones bring more money. Maybe they are mostly idiots on there.

Yeah I listed the used ms 440 I had with a tank repair and scratched up plastics and it sold within 12 hours. I try to sell the little 5105 dolmar that is almost brand new and it doesn't sell. I don't understand some people.

Man you move saws in a hurry, your sig changes almost daily! Why's the 5105 for sale?
