Aftermarket 070/090 Parts

[Dapper Dan]

Was just on Balieys site lookin at these parts.
070-090 Parts
Are the parts listed everything you need to build a complete clone 090?
Anyone added up the total cost of all parts needed?

I have no intention of doing this....just curious what the total would be.

This was "discussed" in many posts later last year... check out the old threads...

They discussed offering a kit with all the parts, but it fell through.
I looked through and kept a tally in my head. I think it would be over $1000 for everything needed.

And in the end ...you end up with a copy that worth a lot less then a used stihl...

 

[joesawer]

Yeah, kind of like a kit A C Cobra vs. an origianal. Pennys on the dollar.

but, but, but they are high quality parts.:monkey:

 

[Sawdustmaker]

If that is high quality, what do you call real stihl quality?

Cosmic quality?

 

[Grande Dog]

Are you talking Stihl Chinese, Brazilian, American, or European quality?

Grande - I know you said since other ebayers got to selling the kits before baileys did, you guys decided against the idea. It seems like you guys carry all the parts to build a complete saw. Why not offer it as a package/kit? Is it due to legality reasons? Is it due to the fact that baileys cannot compete with the kit prices other ebayers are selling them for? I'm just curious.

That hurts (TRUE) but it stihl hurts,.........:blush:

 

[Lakeside53]

Are you talking Stihl Chinese, Brazilian, American, or European quality?

Ah.,. but with Stihl, on the last three there is no difference... and there isn't any Chinese, yet... but it will be the same quality.


For the non-"big name"... the only things that stops the Chinese making top quality is the lack of real QA/QC enforced by a "big name".

I believe we were able to fill all of the back orders we had taken. We could see that we were going to be wrestling with the the country of origin deal as far as quality goes. We say Taiwanese other sellers might own up and say Chinese. You're probably thinking, what's the difference? That is the crux of the problem for marketing. It would be an ongoing uphill battle trying to separate, and define the quality difference between ours and theirs. With the time that it was going to take to babysit this product project, and the potential margin, it just started looking less and less feasible. We will keep parts available for the units we've sold, and of course other aftermarket sales.
