Hey guys,
I've bought one chainsaw from a Pawn Ship yrs ago, an 034 power-head only.
It needed some light carb work, fuel lines, bar/chain and turned out to be super runner.
I certainly have seen tons of Pawn Shop saws that looked hideous & abused as well!
I'm yet to purchase any saw from Ebay...mostly just bars, chains, and miscellaneous parts.
Yet, I'm seeing some fairly decent deals with some online Pawn Shops & Ebay as well.
Looks like a few MS 440/441 & 044's are becoming rather common and within sensible price
ranges.
What can you studs share about both of these venues--Pro & Con, things to watch out for?
Also what about Ebay's Policy on junk saws passed off as good runners? Is it a big hassle getting your $$$ back, if you buy a turd instead of a trophy? I'm aware that you should stay with 98% Seller Ratings or above.
Thanks,
Reg
