Ahhh life must be good...a brand new MS361 and drinking beer before 1pm on a Friday.
I thought this was your routine as well? New saw every Friday at 9:00 AM, frosty brew prepped and ready to be popped at 12:01 PM...you've got it good bro!
Went back to the dealer to look again, as I only got as far as the price last time. They already sold it! It was in stihl colors and I think 5' long.

Now that we are back on topic, I'll be serious for just a minute.
When I'm over at my camp cutting firewood, and I wreck a chain, decide I need a longer bar, or need a part, it is sure nice to make a short run to my dealer and pick up whatever I need. That is worth something to me that can't be measured in $$$$. So I do my best to take care of him to the extent possible so he can continue to take care of me. He makes some money from me, and I get the support I need from him.
The man offers me quality equipment and support for a fair price, and I've never negotiated price. He cut me a great deal on the third saw I bought from him (MS 361) without me even asking for the discount. So my 'gimme' Stihl hat is off to him.
Who is the dealer?

I think that's list ($109, I looked online). I wonder if they got that price, I'll have to ask next time they aren't so busy. They are making money on the snow throwers this year.
