Saws you bought to flip but kept.

[mdavlee]

He does, zero .
I like saws and all, but I have MAD way worse
I says it all in my signature.
That being said I try to have at least 2 of each saw I like to run in the herd at any given time. If your buying the last one you will have to pay a little more, but I will sell it.
There are very few saws I can't buy for 100-200 more than what I can sell them for in a flash, so if I have to have one that bad what's a couple Benjamins.

Only one that I've owned that would be tough to replace and I've had a few, that's the 89 288xp anniversary edition that was never fired, but it was bought to sell and it has left the building. Pictures below are right before it left, we will meet again.

There's a few of us.

Don't fix it, flip it, makes it easy .
I'm not set up to work on them at the moment so if I buy something not working right I typically sell them that way unless it's something simple or I just really want to run it(where's the guy running the chain saw emoticon, moderator @exCanuck ).

If I had that 288 it would be for sale. Too nice to use.

I would never sell that one.

 

[mdavlee]

I've sold 3 NOS 440. I have no problem selling new and NOS saws. I know I wouldn't use them and I'm not into shelf queens.

 

[dustinwilt68]

I love my shelf queens,lol. They are staying put, just need to add a few more. Guess that is why this site is great, something for everyone.

This 346 I have sitting here I have mixed feelings about. On one hand I bought it because I wanted one but on the other I don't want to scratch it.

So it sits until I make up my mind. I should sell it and buy an ugly one to use but I really don't want to. Lol

I would trade it for an ugly ported one to someone who likes to keep them in boxes

LOL I got a 2071 at an estate,, had never been sharpened, sat on my shelf for 5yrs, then I started using it,, now got a 365 in the same condition,,, very apprehensive to use it now,,,

At the end of the day they are tools, but I like having some as art to look at and others for use

Your the type of guy I like.

I'm into them, as long as they make me a buck. I have shelf queens, box kings, floor beauties, as long as they make me some cash sooner or later I like them .

We know your just not right though Dustin.

So instead of scratching the saw your scratching your head LOL. Do you have a lot of other saws?

Nothing fancy but picked up this 306 for $20 as a non runner. New fuel lines, filter, and carb kit and she runs great. Was gonna sell it but it sounds too damn good after I pulled the baffles out of the muffler. View attachment 26005View attachment 26006 View attachment 26007

I see that the anchor rope is tied to it already. How big of skiff will it moor?

If I wasn't born in cali I'd have to believe I would have been born in Missouri, the show me state.
Before and after pics please .

 

[danimal]

20" seems a little short, but I sent you a text.

My 272 is a dedicated 20" bar saw..
Need a longer bar, I grab a bigger saw..

Only 15 or so...

 

[czar800]

I thought when I picked up theses saws I would flip them.... just haven't.

 

[czar800]

 

[scottwv]

All of them

 

[chipper1]

Only 15 or so...

I guess depending on what they are, I'd sell it and run one that is "pre-scratched" .
