Interesting howthe new Ebay/Snipe ID's do not allow you to see who the high bidder is.

I think it was needed for all the bogus second chance offer scam on the higher ticket items. I sold a vintage Chestnut canoe for a friend last summer that brought $2600. Within hours of the end of the sale, I was getting emails from the other bidders, asking if I had sent them a second chance offer. Someone had tried to scam them.
 
Since it is brand new

Does it have the 7 day money back guarantee?

I'm gonna ask the seller that

it's a Stihl...it's brand new.....
 
Of course I am the only one that sees this

It couldn't be a test of what the market will bear for a "Limited Production Run" offered only to "Select Diamond Dealers" in the future

nah.....no way.....:notrolls2:
 
A buddy of mine just bought (ebay) a NEW 041AV, in the box, with original tool kit etc etc... I was thinking of trying to register the saw to see if the Stihl dealer system threw up ;)

Just a couple of scratches on the clutch cover from box scuff, but nothing that can't be touched up.

He just built up this 08S out of brand new parts - every part!

He also has an 051 in progress and a 041G...(both - all new parts),
 
Can you still get 090's new from the factory? Or are the 090's that we see once in a while on ebay just saws that someone bought and held onto for years? I assume that the MS880 replaced them but how do they compare?
 
When we were shutting down Crown Zellerbach's Tillamook Division in 1985, We sold some 090 Stihls with 60 inch bars. The 090s weren't selling very well, so we dropped the price to $100 each to get rid of them. I wish I would have bought and kept one of them. As I remember, some of them had gear drives. It's been a long time and my memory of the saws is fading. I definitely remember watching fallers using them on big spruce and Douglas fir. It was an eye opener for me as a young forester.

The timber fallers at Tillamook frequently fell sitka spruce trees well over 60 inches in diameter. Diameters of 8 feet and bigger required the butt logs to be hauled on lowboys. Wow! I guess it was the good old days. ;>)
 
Oh 9 Oh

Steve here... As far as I know the only thing available are the 070's. The last new 090av I had was probably made in the late 90s early 00's. That was when they where imported from Germany to Canada. I was told they haven't been available in the states since the middle 80's. The two 090av's I have now came from out east and dates to 1984.
The 090 has alot more torque than an 088 or 880. The 88 has chain speed but chain stalls easy in big wood with a long bar.
 
Thanks for the info lunch. The 090 looks like such a sweet saw, too bad they did away with it. I would never have a need for such a beast but like most of us here I just love saws and it would be a great novelty to have one.

I M H O :

If the guy is going to use the saw, wonderful. But if he is going to hoad it

to try to make a "killing" later, and doesn't ever use a chain saw, I don't like

It. I have no trouble with a guy making a buck, but look at what happened

to the car market. And if the guy has never run a saw and wants one, more

power to him.

Look at the car market, fat cats buying and reselling. I was at a car

show and a guy was saying he had just bought a Cunningham, built by a man

I knew, and I asked what engine it had. He looked at me like I was nuts,

He only wanted to resell.

A math teacher in Indiana uses a rare Ferrari as a driver, and is taken

to task for not putting it in a museum, because of the racing history.

His reply:Enzo built the cars to be run!!!!

I'm done, I would just like to think that the 090 would be run or was bought

so he could run the pee out of his other 090.

Personally I would hope that he is collecting it after paying that amount for it. Otherwise he is just throwing money away.
