A BUNCH of "New" Stihl 070 s on ebay lately
Where do they come from? Are they really Stihl?
Example:

An arborist on a board in the UK says they are making top notch knock offs in china and he knows because ordered one of the Chinese saws.
Or somebody could have gotten their hands on some of the Stihl 070s that are still sold in Mexico.
Or they could be Brazilian saws.
In any case, none of the sellers are talking. I have had no responses from any of 4 different sellers of the "new" saws in the last week. The only response I got was from a guy in the upper midwest who bought one of these "new" saws from some guy he knew who told him it was original. He ran it a few times for a big job and then put it on e-bay to resell it.
All of the sellers have been in Michigan, Minnesota, and Maybe a Wisconsin if I recall correctly.
What's going on?
