While paraphrased these are statements that people have said to me that brought an abrupt end to our dealings.

"Meet me in the parking lot behind Lowe's at 12a.m., bring cash."

"Meet me in the park(middle of no where far away for prying eyes and out of ear shot), bring cash. Keep our meeting secret."

"No, I will not sign a receipt saying that you bought the saw, that is why I want cash only. Why T.F. would you want a receipt?"

"I do not know anything about this saw(088). I found it. I do not remember where or when I found it."

I like this one, "Bought new to cut one tree, don't need it anymore."
?????

I actually do like that one for saws and generators. There was a storm, he bought a tool, used it for a day or two, and aside from needing a carb cleaning, it should be in very good shape. (oh, and the chain will have little wear but will be dull, it's never been sharpened and the owner probably doesn't know how)

I couldn't get the chain brake adjusted so I went ahead and pulled it out. Now the saw is lighter and faster and - I mean come on- how many times are you "really" going to need it anyway?

This baby will chew through anything!

It used to smoke when I put oil in the gas so I stopped mixing it.

Putting oil in the gas AND filling up the other oil thingy just seemed like overkill.

(on a manual oiler) I never did figure out what this other lever/button was for...
