Why bother trying to hide anything anyways? Then you end up with an irritated customer. Espessially on this site. Where most people have an idea what they are looking at. Even if you "fix" it, that's what they remember.

I usually have an idea what I'm looking at, but I once got so excited about an 044 I was buying in person that I overlooked a badly broken crankcase even though it was staring right at me. Thankfully I paid little enough that I didn't feel too terribly burned when I realized what I'd done.
 
Is there a "black list" somewhere? Rednecksawman was the 044 seller - you could see the damage to the covers that the buyer described if you looked closely at the first pic - but he was clearly trying to hide it. The 200T seller was mattfr12 or something.

he's been added to my "black list''. He needs to refund the full price to the buyer and buy back his piece of sh!t saw for not disclosing that it had a busted tank mount. He didn't show pics of the bottom for a reason.

I say refund his money and let him keep it for the deception and aggravation.
 
Interested to see what comes up here.dude said that the money was going to fund the church youth group.the money i sent for a saw did go to a youth group.... Or at least thats where paypal said it was going.
Now on to my problem......Ever have a New looking McCulloch PM 700 that started,Ran,but couldn't get the carb tuned to save your life only to find out the cylinder was scored........ Can you say Ouch! I've brushed it off as seller error and the money i spent on it did (hopefully) go to a good cause.luckily and thanks to one of the members here i have gotten all of the parts except for a piston and gaskets cheap enough to justify what i paid for the saw.

OUCH !!!
 
shouldn't get deleted or locked- it's "our money" that is at risk here. We have a right to know about and discuss bad deals/ sellers. I spent $11,000 on saws last year, most of them used. I got burned by 2 sellers. One here and one on another site. Both on purchases that were over $1000. They made it right in the end, but only after they were exposed.

last night i went back and looked at the original pics sent after seeing the buyers pics and there is nothing taken from that side of the saw close enough to see the crushed handle and plastic and nothing of the bottom of the saw. and youre right about mattfr12, and as i recall he offered the buyer of the 200t another parts saw or two to try to make it right. Lesson:Dont sell something for dirtbag friend.

seems to me like with all these shady deals these days, the mods should start a black list/wall of shame type thing. Make an example out of people who misrepresent saws and deceive people. A sticky thread right up there with new river firewood :cool:
