Grrrr I thought someone would say dealer 2 at 929.95 durn it. I was dealer 2 at 929.95 and he did come back a week later and buy the saw at that price. I'm really trying to figure out what must have happened at dealer 1 that would cause this guy to pitch his 54.95 savings there and come to me. Anyone got any ideas?
Has he ever bought from you before, or know someone well that has?

Dealer #1.
My dad had a similar situation when he bought his MS200T not too long ago. The dealer he goes to for all his Stihl/John Deere Mower/IH Tractor parts had an MS200 there, and so did another local (and much much smaller) dealer that he had never been to before. His usual dealer quoted him something like $40 under list (list being $620 IIRC). The other dealer quoted him $90 under list and threw in a 2nd RSC chain for nothing. His usual dealer told him there was no way he could touch that price. He bought the saw from the smaller dealer, and has now started going there for parts as well, in part because it's smaller and the gentleman that runs it seems more knowledgeable than the "jack-of-all-trades" guys they have at the larger dealer.

...could have just asked him.
+1. Once you made the sale, I would have simply asked him.

Never seen the man in my life but he acted like he knew me somehow. He wasn't overbearing, seemed nice but not nice enough to swindle me down another $54.95. Shoulda sent his wife in to do that, hahaha

Its only 164 lbs/ft that wouldnt break anything
I think im safe with the 5000 miles or so seperating us:greenchainsaw:
That's my thought. You go with dealer #1 @ $875.00 out the door and he never sees you again and you go to dealer #2 for service and he blackballs you because you didn't buy the saw there.

Maybe he has 20 dull chains that he is bringing in tomorrow for you to sharpen. He probably figured he would work that other $50+ out of ya.
