i found this saw and have been looking for a 046/460 for a little.
by description what do you all think about it should i get it or not :greenchainsaw:
he posted a new one with pics now what do you think

I would have to see pics. I find that sellers on craigslist usually have a high asking price. If It is good shape offer him 300 they are good saws.

 

[carvinmark]

I would look at it, sounds like a good deal.

I just picked up a clean 046 Arctic 25in bar 170psi for $250 Canadian, thougth that was a very good buy. Thats about $200 US.

Huh yeah...very good deal. That's if he did the right gas mixture for'em, not just sometimes but every time.

He's even left it open for haggling...what are you waiting for?

Heck I'm only a couple hour drive from there, maybe I should give the guy a ring... *just kidding*

There was a guy on the sacto CL from dobbins that had a big husky for sale with 10 chains for it.. I thought about low balling him, but I'm to poor right now.

So what you're saying is than an 046 at that price is not going to last long enough for someone to dink around and decide whether or not they want it.

 

[chainsawboy1996]

alright i guess you all made up my mind for me
i will proly.get there soon

now i can update my sig.

 

[Raymond]

I've got many good deals off Craigslist and yeah the good deals go quick. I often sell stuff there and sell it at a good price just to make it history quick.
I get the guys that call want it and tell me I'll call you this weekend. Well it's Tuesday and usually gone that day.

I'd have to say my favorite is the guy that wants to talk it over with the wife. Them guys lose out.

Gotta go NOW when you see a good deal there. :computer:

Get there as quick as you can, and wait to try talking him down till you get there.

:computer:Willsawforbeer's right fellas. I've took the family (3) across town hungry, wishing I could of taken a shower first. Get the good deal then stop and grab a bite.

The last one was this very sharp 73 beetle for 1600.00 She's a dandy I wouldn't bull:censored: ya.

I'm either right or I have CAD and don't want to admit it.

So what you're saying is than an 046 at that price is not going to last long enough for someone to dink around and decide whether or not they want it.

A major corollary to that theorem is that if it is still available when you finally get off the stick and go there, it's not worth dragging home.

In that case I normally tell the person that their saw is a heap of :censored: and offer them a much lower price than they have it listed for.

i was wondering if the saw being older and haveing older epa/carb standards would it be a better saw than a newer one with strict epa/carb laws
