I'm not here to start bad blood between us, and that is not my intention.
I can say that I do business with a large Stihl dealer and can walk in to his shop and because of all the 2 cycle oil I buy ( cases) and all the bar oil cases) and all the chains I buy and have sharpened there - I could IMO buy a 700 saw for 550 or even less if it has sat on his self long enough. I know this because I have done it. There is a large mark up , I have seen it.

Why don't you POST some dealer prices ? Why don't any Stihl dealers post dealer prices ...... I think we all know why .

Anyway like I have always said all the good saws are good , I'd never bash Stihl .. but I will bash their sales tactics. JMO

Ok...yeah I'd have to guess he would be selling you that saw at close to cost.

 

[Woodie]

Ask your Stihl dealer to have a beer with you.

I made some changes for you rat...I kinda like 'em...

Why don't you post some dealer prices, you claimed you knew them. I'll give you one just to make you happy, MS170, sells for 179.95, costs the dealer 160.00 so where is the huge mark up??????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

[Woodie]

I give up...

 

[wood rat]

Me to.

The dealers give away their Stihl saws, there you all happy now ?

 

[bcorradi]

LOL...

i wasn't trying to be argumentative...i was just trying to have you state why you think stihl is any different then any of the other brands, in that regard.

 

[RiverRat2]

Dummer that a box of rocks!!!!!!

I use them both and love both of my saws. I also have a couple of Homelites and might purchase a Dolmar 7900 soon. If you purchase the right saw for your application there should be no 'real' difference. It is when you try to apply a saw not intended for your use that problems occur. On hte extreme side, I recently saw a Stihl 250 [45cc] saw with a 28 inch bar. The poor little saw was laboring with about 24 inches under cut. All I heard from the owner was how crappy Stihl saws were and how his big old Husky wouldn't have had a problem. His Husky was a 72cc saw. He informed me that he didnt want to pay that much for a new saw so he went with the Stihl 250 since he had a buddy who loved that saw. He also commented on the whimpy little 18 inch bar his buddy used!

Did you give him a tune up and tell him that at least his buddy knew the 18" bar is the reccomended Max bar length for that saw and that if he really wanted to run a 28" bar he would need another 30cc's ( 440/460) and be good to go like a normal person would?????? :monkey: :monkey: :stupid:

Ya just can't fix STUPID!!!!!!!!!

I'll bite for fun here Tom, you know the 170 and 180 are priced as give aways to lure and draw them in and lay the bait out in front of the harry homeowner like me and then give alittle line on the drag and then say well boy what you really need is this there 361,440,441,460,660,880 and then you say here go make some cuts with them and compare and see. Well first the 170 then the 361. You set the hook hard and you just reeled in another harry homeowner. Ka-ching
This is just for fun and nothing intended Champ.

LOLOLOL, so true Cut, it is a price break saw to getcha in the door. However there is no Stihl saw marked up more than 23-24%. Thats a fact...

Awwwwwwwwwww Woodie we didn't want to ruin the BS thread with some truth about costs and mark ups but sometimes ya gotta set the record striaght, sorry ole boy. Then again NOT!!!,LOL

Just Saws

Sales aside...It's the saws, man. No pro here, probably at this point more of a collector. But to me Stihl pro saws epitomize precision engineering. A well-thought out product that is designed to function at optimum performance over a period of time.
