It means your bank account will never see a substantial amount of money. It means if you are married, you will give your wife some stiff competition for the shopping money. It means that you will make a place on the fireplace mantle to display your recently restored chainsaw. it means...well I think you get the general idea

CAD/inflation check
Have to admit,I was pretty excited about picking up a couple loops of chain and a few bars a few months ago from BAileys before the price hike.Im in the "hord everything consumable" mode right now.What with inflation just barely starting to burp,anything related to steel alloy is going to go thru the roof imo.Ive just got 2 saws,an 026 and a 372xp,I plan on sockin away years worth of loops and bars.Any replacement saws that ever come down the pike will fit those 2 for me.
Find some closet/shelf space boys,that alloy is gonna be like poor mans gold.

+1 In our area the scrap dealers are paying over 5 times more for scrap steel than they did 18 months ago. Think about what that means for steel prices in the near future, After the **** hits the fan will be too late to get the stuff that you will really need at a reasonable price.

Is Stihl making their chain out of gold and diamonds with glitter all over it? Must be some pretty fancy packaging.
LOL try living in the UK then Stihl RSC 18" loop for a MS361 has an rrp of £25.85 that would be $50 near enough!!!!!
I get mine for £15 deliverd from a guy on Ebay
As for scrap, A couple of years ago they wanted £150 to remove a scrap car then it changed to free uplift now they give £100 to take it away!

CAD is bad, but it can get worse. If untreated it can develop into MAD (Modified Chainsaw Acquisition Disease) and finally manifest its self as BAD (Bikesaw Acquisition Disease).

Scrap is going for 200$ a ton for mixed steel. It's so bad we're having to lock up our scrap at work so people don't steal it.

We live in crazy times. I know that a lot of the scrap is going to China and India to keep their steel mills rolling, but nevertheless, historically the first thing that went into the tank when a recession was even thought about was scrap prices. Now we are clearly sliding into what will hopefully "only" be a recession, and not worse, and dealers are treating scrap steel like gold.
Loops are gateway chains some day youll find yourself buying 100 ft rolls of square grind.No, no glitter. And I was mistaken. It was only $22.....:monkey:
They are nice and pretty when they're new though!!

WHAT?!?!?!? This means that somebody knows something we don't, or that we are at the end of the good life as we know it. Either the speculative futures boys have run it all up like oil, or, we are in a real resource crunch. Batten down the hatches....it's not just crackheads who will rip the gutters off your house........

What's worse is the associated devices...
CAD isn't usually enough to keep one sorted out...
The victim usually finds that some of their other equipment either sucks, or lacks (or both...) So there's those other one-way roads to go down too. Tools, OPE, shop equipment etc...
I've coped by keeping to mostly rotating my focus: Saw ---> other junk --->saw ---> other junk etc... Luckily the other junk crosses over to saws somewhat. I think they call that 'closure' (?)
I figure it's no fun dying and leaving weak junk for the estate yard-sale, so I gotta roll with it.
It's a sad condition to behold... but there are worse ones.

I'd rather have this disease than some of the others, one can collect! Besides this is the only disease I can think of that gets me out of bed every day.
Hopefully all the other posts answered your question. When i 1st joined this site, i had 1 saw that i gotten from my father. A Jonsered 52e. Now for some reason i have a stihl 011, husky 137, 51, 371xp . And a old clinton d-65 super that found its way home from a auction that i have to even touch for a year now
