Stihl ms 660 real or fake ?

[Jeff Lary]

price sound way too low aren't these $1,000.00 plus saws, fuses? and keys? I don't know me...….

$600 for a genuine 660 ? I forsee another thread a month from now titled " I got bilked out of $600 for a clone !"

Is the one on this picture genuine ?
It looks similar to the one i am looking at.

What's up with the decal on the front of the case?

That’s what I was thinking.

I have been reading a lot to not ask too much before doing some homework myself and i think this is only the nr of the blade so i replied to the seller i need another number

 

[Ozhoo]

Up till that serial number pic I would have believed it... those types of numbers have been showing up elsewhere. Serial should start with a 3 and have the Stihl logo to the right side.

 

[Alejandra]

then thanks to this forum i did not waste any money. The seller keeps saying it’s a 100% original that they have sold a few and that the clients are very happily using their saws but could be they don’t even know themselves

 

[HarleyT]

Stihl's recent units are a 9 digit number, the website will not even let you enter anything other than 9 digits.

 

[Alejandra]

I do count nine

What pic are we talking about?

 

[HarleyT]

No, it doesn't come up, but my lookup seems to only apply to the U.S.

I just assumed the one pic by Ozhoo was the saw in question.

 

[Alejandra]

this is the one i received from the seller

 

[HarleyT]

Yeah, I saw it when I looked back. Looks like CPT is unique to this bootlegger. Does good work to fool this bunch here.
