028 wb?

I have a local selling his 028 WB for 200.00. Is this a good buy and what about the throttle problems?

His response when asked for a serial number from the bay listing


Dear ..........,

Shipped straight from the manufacturer............and made in Germany? I thought the only country where these were still being made in was Brazil. Yep..........that's more than a bit fishy. All of his ebay feedback appears to be as a buyer....

There is a company that is in China or somewhere around there that sells saw's that look identical to Stihls but are really cheap compared to Stihls. They even advertise them as a Stihl saw but are made in China. Wonder if this guy is getting them and re selling them as Stihls?? Should be interesting if someone contacts one of the buyers and finds out what he got or if he got anything.
Check his feedback in a few days and see. Also you can see who it really is in the feedback. I have contacted people in the feedback just to find out how the product was when they got it. Saved me from a few mistakes in the past.

Here is the link. The pic on the web page looks just like the one he uses in the video. It has no stickers on it. Anyone can put a sticker on it and make it look real!
The more I look at it I am positive it is the same saw.

He's talking about using the saw to cut a hole in the ice, I think.

I see. He coulda called it a "perfect ice saw". Oh well. There should be a Homelite E-Z or XL12 on the floor of the shack in the pic you posted.

And the 260 has the split housing and white handle.

You can sell these by becoming a member. They run pretty cheap. You can make a good profit on them. You send order to the company and they send it out to the person. I reported the guy on ebay. I have seen some other people sell these but they say it is a "Stihl copy" They run good but not as good or last like the real McCoy!

 

[chainsawsmurf]

And more copies!
