Think I Stole This

[iowa]

I think I just stole this! Brand new in box. Found on CL. He's been listing it the last few months for $450. Today I noticed $350 obo! Said I'd give him $300 cash right after work. It's mine now.

If your happy with it and the price then it's a great deal! The only experience I have had with an echo chainsaw was that it was very loud compared to my Jonsereds.
I like getting great deals, I have a rule, if I can't buy it used for 1/2 price or less I would rather buy new and have a warranty.

Was that the saw that was in the box when you opened it??

haha just kidding. My old man has an echo from the 80's and it's a SUPER strong running saw.

I have been watching Echos latley and you did good, any more?

 

[hanniedog]

Nice saw and good price. Now go cut some wood and report back how you like it.

 

[REJ2]

You did good!!

 

[iowa]

Yup. I opened the box. And there is a saw in there. Phew!
Like I needed another saw. LOL!

Nice! sounds like the feeling when I got my husq 455 rancher for $260.

Looks like a good deal to me. From what I hear and read those 60cc Echos are very capable and nice saws--enjoy and let us know your opinion on it.:msp_rolleyes:

You will love it. I have a CS4500 that has cut over a hundred cord. Only problem I have had was a broken pull cord once. The thing is like a timex watch. I'd buy another one in a heart beat.

Make sure you richen it up! That's how I got mine, CL yard sale listing (missed all the other cutting stuff though, like a full bucket of used chains), but...I epic failed on pulling the caps and richening it and toasted it. It ran and cut real real good before that though. Pistons and cylinders are pretty spendy so take heed, besides that, great score man!

You got that so cheap, you could take it brand new shiny clean and send it out to be ported, and still come out a few bucks under normal full retail.

Richening it or Leaning it? running it too lean will burn it up. Rich is good.

You can't beat that. Good deal on an Echo.

Well done.

 

[trouba]

Richen. Mine was too lean running it up against the factory full rich stops.

 

[ShaneLogs]

Good deal! Sounds like a good day!

 

[REJ2]

Id pay $300 for one in an unopened box, no shipping, no tax all day long!

Nah. I put her on the shelf for safe keeping. Never know. May need it for something later. Nice gift or trade bait for a nice gun?
