What's the best deal you ever got on a saw??

[dragrcr]

I got my 028 WB for cutting a guy a load of wood. It was not very much wood either, a 5x8 trailer full. The saw runs and looks good just ended up having to put an oil gear on it.

Mac

I did that too, got a mit 272xp for about a cord and a half. here is a pic of it

I got a really hot built 385 for two Coho Salmon, 2 pounds of frozen Morels and 5 packs of deer meat.

Bartering at its Finest!:jawdrop:

i just picked up a stihl 650 for 300 cash only thing it needed was that silver casted piece that the filter bolts to and the gas cap o ring so 30 bucks in parts

i got a nice clean saw with a brand new bar and chain for $330 i thought my hand was gonna burn when i picked it up off from the guy but he was a local farmer so i wasn't worried about it being hot.

Nice surf & turf meal right there !
My 024AVS for $50 (CL) makes me very happy. Handy little saw.
My best deal ? I dunno yet. I'll find out if/when I sell them.

Deals so far............

So far I got the Jred M361 out of the garbage, and I got the MS280 for 200.
After reading another post, I may get a whole pack of saws all for sexual favors to the attractive wife.

I found a McCulloch SP125C in pretty good condition for $100. I had to replace the rear anti-vibration mount, and eventually replace the 28" bar with a 32" NOS bar I found (another good deal but that's another story).

I bought a Pioneer P60 for $50.00. I did a little carb cleaning and it runs great.

I got a super clean 066 for $275 once but got a much better deal lined up for tomorrow :greenchainsaw:

Yeah trust me it works! Shes wanting to know how much I spend on another saw so she can compensate me when my birthday comes up.

All for a little cleaning out her stall!

They call me the Mud Mucker. Lol. Time to put down the rye.

best deal i ever got other than free was
you cut that tree down you can have the saw
it was like a 75 foot cottonwood 22" dbh
i ended up packing a 394xpw stihl 041 and jonhdeere 81
home

50 bucks for the 084 i think 30 for the 044. this kinda kickstarted my cad right here. both these saws are now gone but both became very good runners and have been replaced by a 440 and 066

I'd have to say the best deal I've gotten on a saw was my Homelite 750 I got off of CL about six to eight weeks ago or so. I paid $100.00 plus shipping. Rebuilt the carb, new boot, spark plug, and a major cleaning. Runs and cuts like a dream. Oh, and I also added two NOS dogs to it as well. Best, Max.

GRRRR....I actually bet you to that 750 by emailing him almost immediately after it was posted stating I would take them, but the guy decided to skip me over and sell it to you. I knew it had to have been a member here too. That left a bad taste in my mouth.

Best deals, hmm, probably the like new Mac double eagle 80 and mac 610 for free from my stihl dealer. Someone never came and picked them up after being serviced. I ended up selling both after playing around with them, put over 600 bucks in my wallet.

 

[epicklein22]

Speaking of 064/066 deals. I snagged 2 parts 064s, a 029 super, 15 or so chains and 3 extra bars for 200 bucks off a local AS member. I sold the 029 for a little over 200 to make my money back and kept the rest of it, which ended up being my 064 and my 064 with 066BB currently in my sig.

I had a guy deliver a 066 to my house from over an hour away for 250. Put 20 bucks in it and sold it to a guy at work for cheap. He uses it almost everyday.

My friend who is a logger was working with another logger. This logger owed my friend $50.00. The logger said he would give his saw to my friend for the $50.00. My friend said he would sell me the saw for $50.00 to get his money back. The saw was a good running Stihl 064.

Got a running 090 for $20 at a yard sale last year that only needed some small parts and a tuneup. Also got a complete & running 08s at a pawnshop for $50 last winter, and a 181SE that only needed a fuel line for $80 the year before.

My best deal ever was years ago when the local Husky dealer owed Husky $60,000 and kept sending them bad checks.

I got the whole line!
