Bad neighborhood. Gotta chain up that wild thing!

[beavis331]

Just thought it was funny. Pawn shop has to chain up their wild thing. Used a good heavy chain too. Now if their prices weren't insane.

Do they have more than one at that price?

There are people out there with a well known disease that would go to great lengths to get their hands on a sexy beast of a saw like that one.

And when they cost that much how else could most people afford one. Lol!

Was it a two for one sale, dad got a new one a few years ago for $100, on sale at tractor supply.

Just the one. Pawn shop is just out of touch! Who is gonna pay $175 for a used wild thing when a new one is $100.

You guys are missing the point. The Wild Thing is only $75, the high tech security anti theft device is $100 for a total of $175.

Never underestimate the power of buyer ignorance vs any salesman.

I bet he got for a 20 dollar bill. A local broker offered me a whopping 50 for a near brand new 543xp yet he had a well used husqy 440 on the shelf for 200. Boredom made me curious to know.

Awfully optimistic.

 

[Deleted member 117362]

I bet it's been ported by a well known builder!

Awfully optimistic.

Might have actually been his own.

A brand new WT worth 100 is not worth chaining up. It’s the vintage ones worth 175 that people shoplift, thus the chain.

There was as store security video around a few years back of a guy stealing a saw, stuffing in his pants, and trying to get out the door. The waddle seemed to give him away.

That would have impressed me if it was running!

Bet it'll cut great with the chain on backward.

It's a WT upgrade

And then try to convince everybody, starting from themselves, what a great, misunderstood piece of equipment it is.

To be honest if we had pawn shops here that Wild Thing would be up for sale at the same price of a brand new Echo: remember, it's a chainsaw and hence something extremely rare, valuable and exotic. I've just looked at the local classifieds and there's a big box McCulloch with a bent bar going for the same price as this Wild Thing.
Have I ever said how tired I am of wasting away in this God-forsaken place?

Good catch!
Might be one of the super rare ones that runs backwards, so it's a steal at $175.
Wonder if he'd take a Husky or two in on a trade?

 

[beavis331]

Crap! I missed the reversed chain feature! Totally makes it a bargain!
