From his first post:
I got to this and want to know more about the "expieriment". I'm new here but
cant we all just get along
If you want to be some place where everybody gets along join the Cub Scouts.
If you want to be entertained, informed, and sometimes aggravated beyond all possible reason...stick around. It gets better. Usually.
Fish,I will make this thread, before I get banned.
This fall, I had an "epiphany", I do not know about that spelling, nor do I
care.I have decided to abandon my "experiment", as it is no longer worthHTML:

I had to tweak my postings, but it was a profitable venture, all winter long,
until this past weekend, as too many weenie types have commandeered it.
I just feel like now it is time to lay out my observations of my experiment,
as well as others, and if you guys are polite, and not attack me,I mayHTML:
tell you my interesting findings.HTML:
Well the first thing I found out, and the "Stihl" guys should take note........
I had originally parted it down to the piston, crank, cyl. etc....
But I had to give that up, as the "piston" was so scarred/marred by mishandling, that there was no way that a buyer would accept it.
After 4-5 saws, I realized it was probably on most of the pistons.
Since I was working at a Stihl dealership at the time, I warranteed them out.
So I sold the engine block as a whole.
So to protect my e-bay standing, I decided to sell the engine as a block,
ready to bolt on, and it did ok.
I am only bringing this up now, because it is spring, andI want to hurt theHTML:

I am an open book, and as a river of information, and discussion, I have
decided to trickle on you, once again.
My Stihl parting out "gig" is done, so I will "edify" the "collective", whether
you all deserve it or not.
So here it is girls.................................................................
Okay,I'm intrigued. Throw us some more details.

Hmmm.. I know a guy that's been doing this for years... and his name isn't Fish... lolololol.
Sometimes, almost never, when the moon is full and raining in the Sahara in July.
Cynic.
Dayummmmmmmm GeeVee I must say you got a point there. Up at the store I always have to discount alittle on a display saw thats been picked up by many. I always hear "I don't want something thats been handled by every customer thats been in this store" I always say ok, 5% off and they grab it. Only happens though when its the last one in the store. Most times they get a new one out the box.
Dayumm customers always have a angle. No wonder we raised the prices 5% on the shelf models,LOL
