Do gooders

I guarantee that guy with the 090's email box is jammed full by now. . . Sounds kinda like some scam though.

He's probably received offers in the thousands of dollars too, so $250.00 is for sure out the window.

Oh ya!! Hundreds of people who have no intention or the money to buy the saw probably contacted the guy to conveniently let him know that they are worth much more.If they can`t have it, by god they`ll make sure whoever does get it, is gonna pay for it.I would love to know how many people contacted him just to tell him he should ask for way more money.Ebay use to be like that.Do gooders with nothing else to do, would contact buyers and tell them they got ripped off, or that their item was a fake, or they could get it somewhere else cheaper.Or the people who bid on an item just to remove the buy it now feature so no one else can buy it with that feature.Thats why ebay made bidders id`s private.IMO I love to see people get good deals, like the 090 Brad got from the forestry service.:clap::clap:

Not sure how search engine savy everyone is here, so I will try and give a couple tips for searching craigslist with google.

Searching with something like - craigslist stihl 460
returns many other websites that aren't craigslist but just have info listing it.

Searching with - site:craigslist.org stihl+460
adding site: returns just craigslist web pages from various cities and no others. and the + makes sure that both stihl and 460 are in the title of the page.

There will still be plenty of dead links and postings expired but this might help hone in some searches. Hopefully help save some time looking for those hard to find saws and parts.
