I don't mind paying the msrp price, but we can get the saws cheaper in the U.S. then here. Funny thing is the Oregon factory is in Guelph, but yet I can get the chain & bars cheaper from Baileys then here in Canada? Also my partner and I have over 25 saws together, and I usually go to the states quite a few times a year, and when I do I get what I need. I am all for supporting my local dealers for some stuff, but the saws are way over priced here! I do support quite a few sponsors on here though, and am glad I can because I have been happy with every purchase so far!
My post wasn't directed at you. I don't blame ya when there is that much of a difference. By all means, if you've got a way to buy cheaper from another source, do so. I know I do.
I was gearing my reply towards the OP and trying to beat a better price out of a saw dealer. Not worth it, IMHO.
