Not trying to throw a wrench into your sale, but i have been rebuilding 281/288's for the past year and a half. The average price I let them go for is $450.
I think your asking price of $300 is a bit steep for a saw that doesn't even run right. If you suspect the bar oil is leaking into the crankcase area, you know what it would take to fix the saw I assume.
With that said, are you willing to lower the price to reflect the current running / non-running condition?

Seems ironic you would say this in his thread.

Based on your comments to me in your thread on another site. And I made every effort in your thread to end on a positive note

HAHA. wow buddy. You had no problem calling me out on my for sale post. So i guess you and i are alike...is that what you are saying?
I would buy this 288 from the seller, but would need to negotiate the asking price. Otherwise I will kindly pass.
Good day to you @chipper1
I called you out
, I asked for pictures of the cylinder after complementing the saw, then made a few comments on what really makes a 365 special a special because you asked.I've had many guys let me know things wrong with what I've said and things that were off in ads, it's not usually being called out.
I thought that was a bit out of character for someone who was so quickly upset to come into this for sale post with nothing positive and to tear down the saw.
You realize if you would have just posted the saw for what it really is a 365 with a special cylinder and recoil sticker we wouldn't be having this conversation(and in VF's for sale thread). Then I would have never asked about the cylinder pictures, and would have only said nice saw
. No, we are not alike, it's called hypocritical to complain about it, then to do it yourself.
Also why didn't you just send him a PM, like you told me I should have(in the pm I sent because I was concerned I had upset you)?

So glad you got to speak your mind. Are we done here?
It helps me to sleep well, so does being upfront with people.
All depends on what you post going forward.

If that means I watch out for others then sure, I'll take that title.
Truth be told in the other place that is @Jon1212 title, and I feel he did a fine job letting folks know the saw was misrepresented which is why he changed the title, when you didn't.
VF, your getting some free hits on the 288 today lol.
I'd say your selling price is fine especially when you're covering shipping.
I miss @Jon1212 comments on items for sale here. As I remember he used to have a bit of fun with the op.
288 bump and stuff.....

I had no problem paying alittle more for one not too long ago. $300 is a fair price for a 288 shipped to your door for free.........guess I should have waited
Better out than in, how bad of a leak? Weap, seep or leak?

If left on the bench overnight with a full bar oil tank the under of the saw will have some oil on it. It sat on a bench all winter (~7 months) and made a small mess, but didn't leak enough to empty the tank.

There is a lot of truth in this, Brett.
Though I'm hardly involved enough to have any real influence.
I've heard it said, do for one what you wish you could do for everyone.

Sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean by that.
Jon expressed that he wasn't involved enough to make much of a difference moderating, if we are able to do something for even just one person that has a ripple effect.
