Yes, several were calling me and messaging me the day that 288 came up on ebay. I didnt have computer access til I got home. Then the evening was hectic getting ready for an event for Kari and by the time I got the Ok to buy it, it had been sold. I frequent other forums and the individual who bought it started a thread on it.... "Yeah I bought it, now bryanr2 will want it." (A month earlier I had told him in a message that I was looking for a nos one and he said he would be on the lookout for me). I shot him a message and offered 1200+ship.... he sat on the idea a few days to make me sweat, then came back with "ok, Im done fondling it, you can have it for $1475 + ship". I had to bow out, I couldnt see someone making a $600 profit off me, when if you knew the back ground story, it was clear I was being baited with the thread. After the thread went a little south, he did come back to me and accept my orig offer of 1200+ ship. Even it was more than it was worth, but I hold the model in high regard and consider it my "Holy Grail" The saw, bar, and paperwork reside in my bedroom on top of my armoire. I had to have it. And it is NOS. This saw has had fuel in it so it is at this point only "mint".
Daam that is saw eeeet. Im tryen to figure out wat year mine is. It rips. It cut circles aroind my 372. It might be a toss up with my old 2100 cd back in the day. That was the badest saw ive had yet.
