Another score.

This one might make you happy @cuinrearview no creamsicles...

The feller said all or nothing for $175. The first 2 look promising about to leave and go get them. Will update with pics.

And @cuinrearview where could I find a mityvac 8500 local give me some ideas on where to look. I know I can order one but I’d like to go ahead and scoop one up.

I don't mind any brand. I love selling Stihls. I keep the orange ones to cut wood. You might find an 8500 at a local hardware. Not sure, I bought mine from ebay. ****** picture but if there's a 385 or 390 in there I'll get you most of your money back.

I’ll let you know around dark, I’m about to head that way it’s an hour drive. And every where I’ve looked only has the 8000 so far. Looks like I’m going to have to order one. Here is another pic he sent me it’s hard to tell what they are and he’s a old feller and don’t know what he’s got.

I’m pretty excited about the high tops.

 

[cuinrearview]

You'll do fine on that lot. Probably a few vultures PMing already. That 394/5 is worth the whole lot.

If the Echo Power Pruner runs i sell them for 175+ easy...there is some excellent stuff in that lot even of most of it is broken

That drives me up the wall. But I've seen many many times when people don't show either. Not saying that you wouldn't show.

Well he was the one that responded to my ad and I told him to give me a couple hours to get that way and when I told him I was on my way that’s when he said that bs.. I should have just dropped what I was doing right then.

I know... makes me sick.. I’ve been wanting to tear into some orange saws.

Had a deal and shook on it for a nos 288 lite
I had to go to the bank
He wouldn't take a check.
He wanted 400.00 I told him I'd give him 500.00
I was gone 20 minutes and he sold it to another guy
Thoughts of violence went through my head.

Cant say I blame you, what a ********.

 

[jltrent]

Been on a few wild goose chases myself. Sometimes they do work out. Dang that was a pile of orange.

 

[Jasonrkba]

I still honor the first contact then the next. Just how I do things. Would have been a great score with some fun and profitable projects.

Pretty sure we had the same thoughts. This dude was a d*** from the beginning, I asked him what models they were and he replied “all or nothing $175” I mean I was cool with that but after I told him I was on my way and he said somebody was already on the way that ruined my whole day.

 

[TheDarkLordChinChin]

Ruined your whole week more like, what a scumbag.

 

[Huskybill]

Bummer your were ready to go orange too.

I like any saw that runs, prefer to cut with huskys.

 

[Tobystihl]

I feel your pain, its happened to me before on a number of occasions!
What never fails to boils my piss is when my partner, bless her soul is trying to calm me down by saying things like "well, it obviously wasn't meant to be!" grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......
