Trimmed is getting ready to shut this thread down, great idea. Here's all that matters. The saw is going back to Ohio in the morning, Joat got a refund. No one lost anything. Brad can sell it to someone else, Joat can go find another saw. This was a transaction and a return and nothing more. Good thing I don't handle returns like what all was said in this thread,wowow.

As for me I have no horse in this race, never did, I was looking forward to puttng in a piston, thats all. The saw is sitting here beside me, yes I'm guarding it with my life, its now a star after this thread, wow. In the morning I'll be happy to put it back on UPS and say farewell, Elvis has left the building.. Shutter down Trimmed, do your thing baby...

You didn't scratch that shiny new paint job now did you, including the bottom:greenchainsaw: You can ask Nik. I wouldn't even let him set it on the floor:) Contrary to what 3-4 would have you believe, I take great pride in my work.

People should really think before starting something like this on A.S, all it does is cause people to take sides and become divided,and not to mention what it does to ones reputation...

Like I already said, I was very defensive, and believe I had the right to be. You informed me the saw was being returned, with no discussion, confirming what I fear from the very beginning. I do not appologize for the curt reply. I de appologize for not knowing the fins were broken.

Well Brad, I'll start by saying you are a very talented individual. Not just with your saw building, but everything I've seen from you, work wise, has been nothing but top notch.

What you are not, is acting like a business person. You are experiencing something that many on here experience daily. Welcome to the wonderful world of selling OPE.

You can not assume you know the intentions of anyone, period. Thats mistake number one. Selling someone something when your gut is telling you know, regardless of money, mistake number two. Coming out of the box with your original statement, "wasn't like that when I shipped it", mistake number three. Starting this thread and airing more dirty laundry, mistake number four.

I've alluded to this fact in more than a few threads, your attitude regarding the little people, at least here, has changed over the last year or so. I know where you are coming from, as dealing with customers can suck...you don't get to pick and choose who your customers are, unless you want to be a failed business.

Take a bit of time and read some of your old threads. More importantly some of your old responses to newer members...then read some of your posts from the last few months. If you are honest with yourself, you'll begin to see what many already have.

Would hate for you to become that which you despise.

Your a huge asset around here...there isn't anyone on this board past or present, that hasn't been improved because of what you have done.

With all that said, there wasn't a question from the get go, you were in the wrong. You don't get to pick how you are going to make something right...right is right, period. In this case the only way to make right was to accept the saw back. If the customer was willing to accept a replacement cylinder, that is up to him, and him only.

Things are a bit different when you are trying to be a business vs a hobby.
