Just went to the local flea market and saw a husqvarna 372xp sitting there. I happened to have my husqvarna 350 in the truck so I asked the fella if he would trade my 350 and $100 bucks for the 372xp.... yep, got it.
I'm stoked, he seemed happy too, he wasn't asking much for the 372xp $225 for it but all I had was $100 bucks. Hated to spend all my money, but couldn't pass up that deal. Brought it home and man that thing is a beast. He was a pretty old guy who said he couldn't handle the 372xp anymore, so he liked the light 350 with compression release. I made sure that he knew what he was doing (I'm not a person who would rip someone off just because they don't know what they have) but he knew what the 372xp was and he knew what the 350 was. So I've got a clear conscience and a wicked bad saw on the cheap. I haven't tested the compression yet, but it's hard as hell to pull and cuts like a champ so I'm sure it's passable anyhow, plus this one is worth fixing when it breaks...
Now I've just got to get a case that the saw will fit into and a new chain, this one has been sharpened to death...
