The good news is that it's being sold by a pawn shop and the bar/chain look like they are in great shape. Whoever owned this saw knew how to take care of it. I'd just specify that the pawn shop simply drain both tanks and not 'change the oil'.

Probably described by someone than is noy aware of 2 cycle engines, not to mention bar oil reservoirs.

Pawn shops should be banned, as money changers were expelled from the temple. They are all theives with some kind of license to hide behind.

I dunno, they say good fences make good neighbors.
Since I put the slick 50 in my saw, I never change the oil, just keep adding more. It seems to leak out onto the bar somehow.
I keep having to top off the chain brake fluid too.
