$1249 is indeed crazy. I'm canning the Australian sourced saw idea straight away. I was thinking maybe $1099 or something. Thanks for the UK link - that's a good price
EDIT: Just ordered one from the UK link. Landed in Oz for AUD$677.08 with 14" bar (not .325" though, I'll change that later). Now
THAT is special
Thanks Rudy. Good work. Now everybody order one and we'll have races and stuff.
The confirmation email did say this though:
"Due to Stihl's policy regarding online sales of their products, we can only deliver these items to 'known' or 'professional' customers. We will contact you during order processing to determine if you are a 'known' or 'professional' customer or to arrange collection from our store."
I made sure it was going to "Riverland Sawchain Supply" so hope that will suffice.
