Exact same ad in my neck of the woods, only he says he's in Lebanon. And it's $19 cheaper!

I emailed him and asked point blank how much of the saw is OEM and how much is aftermarket. We'll see what he says.

View attachment 75751

I saw where he dropped the price..it'll be very interesting to see if he answers you, and what he says when/if he does. It does look very clean

Big Stihl saws that are "new" is an ongoing scam around the USA. Most of the ones I've seen are the MS880 but I would make sure that this is an in person deal only as otherwise someone's likely to be left with no saw and an empty wallet. A new 090 would have a market value of higher than that and that's the first red flag...

Oh yeah--I don't think either of us are of any illusions that this thing is legit. I was curious to see his reply about how much is AM, but no reply yet.

No sir, not at all..in fact I was wondering if it's a Chinese kit saw being sold as the real deal. Do they make an 090 kit? I'm not in the market, but curiosity got the best of me

I believe they only make an 070, but with a couple badges it can be misrepresented as an 090.

But I'm not an expert by any stretch. Never had my hands on either an 070 or 090--neither real nor chi-com clone.

The grammar used makes me suspect that English may not be the first language of the "seller". Also, the last line about the refund process is fishy.

But with the stellar package deal (including 3year warranty) and the security of backing by eBay, how could one go wrong? After all, it's a NEW saw!
