Make me a reasonable offer
I'm going to bump this. I almost bought this saw but I don't need a 4th one. He's a newer member but seems like a straight shooter. Responds to pm's and will send more pics as requested. GLWS

Thanks for the positive feedback. It is much appreciated.
These closed port 55's are real sleeper saws. They run awesome compared to the open port 55's....
I recently fixed a local guy's closed port 55 that he was running when the impulse grommet finally failed and it went terribly lean. Lucky for him, I had a new carb mount/ intake assembly, intake boot, new grommet, and good used piston and cylinder. I got it fixed and back to him in one day and he said the saw had never ran so strong, he was blown away. He had bought it used and it probably had some intake leaks for a long time, as the intake assembly plastic was also stripped out where the carb screws retain the carb.
Long story short, these are great saws, I have fixed 3 now and they definitely run much stronger than open port 55's.
I recommend that you remove the muffler and get some good pics of the piston skirt to prove to everyone the health of the piston/cylinder for the reason that the 51/55 saws are notorious for intake/intake grommet failures and lean scoring.
With about $30 worth of intake and grommet parts, good mix fuel and a smart operator, these saws can live virtually forever.
GOOD LUCK with the sale!
