My fun day started with a simple phone call. Man calls up and wants to know the price on a MS290/20inch bar and chain. I say 369.95. He goes does it come with anything. I whatcha mean. He goes does it come with a free chain, I say no. He goes does it come with a case, I say no. He goes all I get is a saw, I say yup. He goes well does it come with a bar cover, I go yup and it comes with a manual and a scrench. He goes well I just got a price on that saw at so and so and they will sell it to me for 355.00 even. I say is that right. Silence on the phone. Then after 15 seconds of silence he goes well can you beat 355.00. I go yup sure can. Silence on the phone again. 15 seconds pass and he goes well by how much. I said 354.00. He goes is that it, I go yup. He said thanks, call ended. Wonder why he called asking what they cost when he already knew, I love price shoppers and can spot their cheap hides the second I hear their voice. If he comes to get the saw I'm going to ask him how far he drove to save that one dollar.
Second fun one of the day. Man buys a 361 at 599.95, never asked for a penny off. I tell him to pay at the counter and then come on down to the shop and I'll have your saw ready. He comes in the shop, his saw is ready to go. He looks on the wall and see's a 361 sitting there at 599.95. He goes whats the deal here. I say whatcha mean. He goes I just paid over 600.00 for the same saw. I said ya did, check the tax on your receipt. He goes oh. He goes must be the cold weather, I go yeah probably is,hehe
Third funny one of the day. Stihl doesn't sell online, yeah right. Man views the Stihl website and then is led over to our store site. He views our site and starts calling me at the shop two weeks ago. After some serious deliberation he shows up today. He, with my help of course, makes his purchase after several phone calls. His shopping list consisted of 2-MS660's/24inch bar and chain, , 2-36inch bars, 2 extra 24inch bars, 4-36in chains, 2 extra 24inch chains, 2-filing kits, 48 bottles of mix oil and 30 gallons of bar oil. Best part was ole Hoss was there to help me load the mans car. Now who said Stihl doesn't sell online. Any Stihl dealer not using the PowerCord site is really missing out.

Get a trimmer and tiny saw ready, I expect to be talked about behind my back as I exit.
