Unmm,(?)... You lost me. I actually really did want you to call me. I thought we could talk about your insights,(what you've learned about the viability of the 660) I am in the market for a backup saw. And if I can get a beast at 90cc for, like,...$230???
( -are you really mad at me for some reason? )
Hoagi, Hoagi, Hoagi...not mad at you at all, you merely missed my apparently misguided attempt at humor here-
As far as the phone # posting, I thought you were responding to a post by "pajeepman" in a post dated 11/19.
Figured that conversation somehow leapt into this thread from another one and that I had just missed most of it.
Looked to me as if you guys were both in the same geographical area and were trying to arrange a meeting.
Regarding the G660, with shipping the price I paid was right at $280- apiece by buying two. I noticed they [FarmerTec] also offer a four saw combo where you get to pick 4 different ones or even all 4 the same and that seems to drop the price down under $250 each delivered if you pick 4 G660's, less if you choose other, smaller saws.
Since I only know one local guy who is interested in a G660 I decided against going that route even though I'm positive I would have had no trouble selling 2 more in-the-box saws for $275-300 each and dropping the cost of mine down to under $200. Just didn't want to tie up an additional ~$400 for the expected 30-50 days shipping may take. The way the world is going, who knows if something ordered from China today will EVER arrive?
What I actually KNOW about these things is still all 2nd and 3rd hand info, and my hands-on saw repair/modification experience is painfully small. I've kept my Dad's 034AV from the '80's running for 25+ years with nothing more than basic maintenance, poking a couple of holes in the muffler and fuel and oil line changes. Probably cut a couple hundred cords with it and it has kept me warm since about '92. Have managed a few easy repairs on a couple old Homelites thanks to collective wisdom on this site, and managed to make an old 041 fire up also.
Even with that slim resume I still contracted a case of CAD here and probably have a bit north of $2k invested in several old beasts and a collection of bars, chains and spare parts. One of these days I'll go through all of 'em and post the ones I know I'm never gonna run for sale on here. I'd take a stab at listing them from memory but I KNOW how that would end...people would be pointing out that there just ain't so such model Homie/Echo/Mac/Stihl/Poulan/Husky etc.
