I Hate Yard Sales !!!!

[pioneerguy600]

I told the wife over and over not to ask me to go to yard sales with her but she never learns,only complains after as I usually come home with , you guessed it (saws).At least this week I only bought 4 Stihl saws. an 028 AV, an 028 Super, an 044 and a MS440 . I still need a rear handle gas tank assembly for the other MS440 I got a couple weeks back but just can`t pass up on deals I have come across this past week. Four running saws that only require some cosmetic sprucing up for $250. collectively, I could part them out and more than double the money but that won`t happen.Just add them to the collection. LOL Pioneerguy600

I'm beginning to wonder...Do Senior Members and above, just sort of smell the saws out? Or do saws sort of smell them out? TLC is important you know. hehe.lol.

I never find deals like that, even if I go looking for them.:monkey:

That's because we are miles away from "saw country". Like I said, Poulans of various stripes, an occasional small Mac or Homie, usually trashed.

Between garbage day, garage sales, craigslist and ebay you can find some decent deals also there are a couple auction places I have yet to check out. You just have to know what you're looking at, and what it's worth. Also I agree location is important, I'm far away from bigger saw country, so we don't have the selection. The best we can hope for is rental places or tree services to retire their stock.

Yeah, and "location, location, location". Don't forget that one.

Yeah, but you have to admit...this deal is pretty sickening...excuse me, I mean - AWESOME. lol.

So, maybe you need to be a chainsaw JEDI to come across deals like this.

"Use the force, Luke."

Hey, maybe Chainsaw Jedi (Chainsaw Master?) should be a new AS term? lol.

I was on a trip recently and saw a 372 sitting beside the road at a outdoor sale. I whipped the car around and threw her in the trunk.

My wife was amazed I could identify a 372 20 yards off the road at 40 MPH. I told her, "when you're good, you're good." She said she was still waiting for proof. LOL

I used to be a big game hunter,now I hunt saws,can see them at great distances,they don`t have to move or run. LOL Pioneerguy600

He could not start this one either as it was bone dry of gas and he did not have any mixed gas so he said I guess you will just have to trust my word that it will run. I took it and picked it up by the pull cord handle and it remained suspended for over 15 seconds and did not move,then I tried drop starting it and I could tell it had great compression.I bought it on face value and I am now glad I did.
Today I took it apart and wiped everything down,checked all fastners , carb and air filter etc.Tried compression test, 162 on three pulls. Ran 1 and a half tanks of gas through it and I`m smiling from ear to ear.Niceeeeeeee.
