Dang ..............
The last Shreck post from you was directed at my muffler mod ................ I certainly hope muh welds werent THAT fugly

 

[Stump Shot]

@Mattyo Thinking on this... I have a bunch of old junk 288 covers and probably even a new AM one. lurking around here, that if you could send ma a cover I could come up with some kind of durability test for them and make a YouTube vidja and post it up here. Also am having a GTG here coming up in a month can let folks check it out. If that sounds good send me a PM and I'll get you my address.

Inturdesting...what was the $?

Sounds like a sneaky way to garner how stupid or dumb an fell is and how
to price accordingly, I mean a smart fella is not going to fall for a

$700 for his mid level insano or whatever on an echo 2511T. That was before I was a member here.

That's a shocking amount of money for such a small saw.

yes we are, and so are you,,,



he's really a stihl guy, although he has said he had a 372. ? In the past





yes he is…



Yes it’s difficult to pick, but you'd like to think with his youtube persona, it should have worked out differently.



agreed, there is some history there



yeh, there was a vid of Human (Cory) saying about husky wanted him to do reviews, but no negative stuff to be said… so he said GFY.
well it was along those lines.



yes Walt would be a good guy to get to test and review.






Hopefully I’ve multi quoted correctly


Btw, I can see @Ford3000 joining @Kensie1988 soon

I'm already spoken for, and I don't do one nighters.

wish I was actually selling lol

 

[cus_deluxe]

hmmm…maybe these will be like eliminator covers, and be worth $600 a pop in a couple years. should prob just buy em all. good investment opportunity for somebody

 

[Mattyo]

As much as that sounds appealing....I can make north of 100k of them with the mold that was made. Making more is no problem. So I doubt value will increase.

Maybe Buckin could sign them, seeing as he is a youtube hero people would be falling all over themselves to buy them, its as good a plan as any.

 

[Mattyo]

He doesn't like high tops. So....

dude, economics. restrict supply, relative demand increases, price increases. monies start falling from the sky.

asshat owner of golf course where i used to work made $ in telecom. owns huge midwest fiber network that carriers like at&t, verizon etc lease from him. he used to brag about having only 10% of his network “lit”. that guy has made BILLIONS by artificially reducing supply in order to drive up prices, effectively creating a monopoly. he's a fuggin criminal if ya ask me. rich postma, owns US Signal. ok, rant/derail over

It's pretty much the same thing here - for years we only had one internet service provider and they could price the service however they wanted. The family that owns the company has become very wealthy and
they've used that wealth to buy up a lot of land, mainly for commercial development. Finally a second provider is coming in and the dominant provider is having to lower their prices.

China is making 288s in September. Either I sell the covers ..or risk getting run over. Bad timing on my part.

 

[Ford3000]

I seen him say that alright, but, he likes to spread the word, so let him, and at the same time you get publicity. He gets to make a video showing the signed cover, it would do no harm to ring him up and talk, it wont cost Buckin much to add a signature, if he wants to help out, its the only sure way to know.

Oh that's not good. I unloaded 150 canoes today that came from china,
every one I lifted I kept asking myself, why are these not made in my country,
I know they can be made cheaper in china, but the chinese prices are rising a lot too, and most people I know would rather pay the difference and support their own, while some would rather pay any amount so no dollars go to china.

I highly doubt they'll have them when they say they will.
They've been year's late on other model's
They sell.

But will they come with high top covers, or was that an add on to the original 288 required to house a filter upgrade, I never seen one so have no idea.
