I'm not talking about people who fix saws, or use saws on a regular basis, but people who want a chainsaw, or have a saw they want to get running.
I can't begin to tell you how many people have told me they are going to buy a saw, tell me they are on their way, and then either never show up, or just ghost me all together. Just happened a few hours ago.
Guy said he was on his way, told me he would let me know when he was close, I waited outside for about an hour, and he never messaged me. I sent him a message asking when he would be there, and no response.
A few weeks ago my buddy called me and said he had a saw he wanted me to fix for him. I told him to bring it over. He didn't show. Talked to him and he said the following weekend he would stop by, he never did, haven't heard from him since.
Had another guy actually show up and buy a saw when he said he would, we started talking about saws, and he said he had a Husky that didn't run, and he wanted to either sell it, or have me fix it. He said he would be back the next day. That was 2 weeks ago, haven't heard from him since.
Had a different guy buy one of my saws and said it ran great, and then said he tried to start it later and couldn't get it to start. I told him to bring it back and I would look at it, he said ok, never heard from him again.
Had a guy that works for the town fire department who I have known for years, text my wife and ask for my number because the firehouse had saws that needed worked on. She gave it to him, and nothing....
And thats not counting the 20 or more people texting me if such and such saw is still available, and then I never hear back from them when I say "yes".
These are just the very recent stories. I could go on and on. Luckily I only flip saws for a hobby, cause this **** is frustrating as hell.
Rant over......
