Came across this one, they claim it is really rare.

You pay extra for the over spray

Check out the bidders list, seems that they are bidding against themselves.

For $700, I would want a clean, taped off, spray bomb job.

a 510 would probably be really rare, yes. Thats an S10, which is pretty rare

Sorry bud, just had to bust you on the typo a bit

That's a crazy price for an average looking S10 with a horrible paint job.

 

[jockeydeuce]

That's not even an S10!!! It's an 08s with an S10 clutch cover!!!

I've never seen a 08s with that style of muffler

I don't care if it's a 747, it's not worth 7 bills.

Makes me wonder if the seller doesnt "know" one of the buyers jacking the price up. If I sold one I woudnt get half that.

That is not a S 10, but some "frankensaw".

It is a fake, so there are more than one good reason to report that ad!

When I got my 08S that was the same muffler that came with it but it had been cut off at the flange for some reason, I tossed it and got a common tin muffler for it, that is the type of muffler I have seen on all the other 08S`s that I have seen.

Most likely, pre arranged, looks like a lot of shill bidding to me.

There is so much of this stuff going on on eBay these days, not fit to deal with them anymore.

That is an S10 muffler, the 08 S had the metal ones. It is an S10 with an 08S back handle.

Was there ever a top handle model S10? I have heard there was but can`t seem to find any info to confirm this.
The saw in question appears to be a repainted frankensaw.

Yes, there was a top handled S10. It's the least common of the family. I have both the top and rear handle versions, as well as a very early 08S. GALLERY

I don't think there was a top handle S10 made, maybe someone can find a flyer or an add of one. You can make one very easily though. All the parts interchange. You could make a rear handled 08S, but it would not be a true 08S. I have seen several mixed up saws. I think that Brads is an 08S with an S10 clutch cover or an S10 with an 08S top handle put on. The S10 back handles all sell very fast, they broke all the time, being flimsy plastic, like the Husky L65's back handle. So I can see someone fitting there saw with an 08S handle to replace their broken S10 handle, or maybe they just wanted to convert it. I have turned several 08S also into TS350 cut off saws, which sell better, all the parts pretty much can interchange.

Something has happened with that ad/bidding, as the high bid by now is more than 500 USD lower than it was yesterday - still too high though!

 

[teatersroad]

I'm a little confused, seems you are talking $700, and the link shows me the high bid is 204.50 right now..
