What's this worth?

It's a thread to share "interesting posts" on CL and eBay. Maybe good, maybe humorous.

Apparently more than he's asking for it. He should have said, "$100 or best higher offer"... lol. I would think someone would pay $150 for it if it was close by.

I may make an offer, with any luck the jug may clean up.

I wouldn't pay or offer the scammer a dime. If you zoom in and look at the saw it's clearly a 359 not a 395XP. Showing the 395XP manual with it should be an absolute red light.

Good eye.

Thought it looked a little funny for a 395. Noticed the no xp but didn't pay that close of attention to the numbers. The case is what threw me off. I was like that looks like a homeowners case the 395 would be almost as big as that case

Bruce, I would have thought you of all people could spot a Chinese clone?

Is that what people are doing now? Building clones and selling them as real?

Seems to have been happening in a few areas. With more and better pictures you can see the signs, this one is a little tricky but still a clone.
1. Recoil Cover is missing the "Stihl" that is part of the white metal grill.
2. No sticker inside handle
3. Label on Top Cover is wrong (Hard to tell from these pics but if you have seen others it's pretty obvious).

There may be some OEM parts on this one but if it's more than Bar & Chain I would be surprised...

That one looks more real than others I've seen but it looks like it doesn't have the specs sticker on the handle

Like these guys in my area some used OEM parts on Chinese saws
If you look you can see where he paints the black lines on AM covers and recoils, he goes as far as buying magnum stickers and puts on crooked. All these sticker are sold on eBay ?
