Hello,
So I'm curious what the "right thing" to do might be ... it's not that clear to me? In a nutshell I believe this is what happened .. The master modified a clients chainsaw and sent it to him via USPS. I'm not sure but he may have insured the shipment. I don't know the Master but I would assume he is quite thorough and experienced when packing and sending a chainsaw package. His client does not receive the package and the Master has to deal with the USPS. Unfortunately without success. One year later, I purchase a "lot" of chainsaws that the USPS was selling. These saws were, for whatever reason, "lost during the shipping process". So at this point I'm purchasing items from a federal agency. This agency claims they cannot find the original owner. So what is the "right" thing to do at this point? .... Do YOU know? ... I will say that if the "right" thing is to do anything other than selling the merchandise and keeping the money ... in other words if that's the wrong thing to do. Then why waste my time and energy? Is it immoral or just plain "wrong" to purchase lost merchandise? Am I expected to return merchandise that I have paid cold hard cash for to anyone that stakes a claim? Sounds like the Master is friend to many and a great guy. Can we pretend for a minute that it's someone else? I truly am curious what the unbiased answer would be ... ??

hey john,, first of all welcome to the sight
now to answer your question,,,, now this is just me and I know a lot of the guys would say the same thing,,, this is exactly what I would do,,,,, sell the saw back to randy for what you paid,,, you get your money back and randy gets the saw to go through again and send it to the orginal owner,, its a win win situation for everyone,,,, now me,, since I now randy and I would even do it for anyone on this site,,, I personally would pack it up and send it out with a note saying "paying it forward",, in other words,, paying it forward on this site means I want no money for it but maybe some day I might need something,,,, on this site it is a fantastic thing,, I know,,, it has happened to me a few times,,, just last month one of the members sent me a saw and didn't want 1 penny for it,, long story so I won't get into the details,, it is all up to you
