My plan was to wait til my (clone/chinese) 16"/32cc saw was dead and then go buy a new 355t.
Yesterday I found my local pawn had a 330t for $160... I checked it out and it looked great, going to go back w/ a scrench today so I can check plug&jug but it looks like a unit whose side-plate was damaged&replaced (chain-brake damage I'm presuming since it's a single-post hand-brake) but otherwise hardly-used I mean I know they could've bought a new Echo bar&chain for selling it but even the sprocket is like-new...
The 355t seemed(seems!) so damn boss to me, but $200 savings - and having the saw on-hand before I get an on-job failure - is hard to pass-up. Am wary of impulse-purchasing so here I am for some counsel
(Should note this would be warrantied, I pay $10 extra and get a 30d window for return if it's bad, although I'd know within an hour if it was OK or not)
