Me and my big mouth

[Skwerl]

Well, somehow I was dumb enough to offer a guy on another forum $600 plus shipping for a 372XP with a claimed 3 hours of run time. He was contemplating selling it and was asking what we thought it might be worth. Well, he took me up on my offer so now I feel obligated to buy it even though I already have four, including one brand new.

Since I'm not really in a financial position to buy this saw right now, would anybody else here want it? I think it's a good deal since I paid over $700 for my last one a few months ago. If money wasn't so tight I'd gladly keep it but right now I'm borrowing money to keep my monthly expenses covered.

So if anyone here is in the market for a new 372, maybe you could bail me out on this deal so I can still save face. And it's still one of the best saws on the planet.

If only I had the cash.

[NeTree]

If only I had the need.

[Dave Shepard]

Oh, you need it all right. Who could pass up the last of the legendary 372's?;)

[wiley_p]

Hell Brian, it is a good deal. Which means he'll be able to sell it no problem. Let him know after doing your books you discovered that at this point in time the purchase will put you in a bind. If he is a good fella then he will have no issues.

[MasterBlaster]

Hell, tell him you had a last minute emergency orrrrrr something.

[NeTree]

I would think the blown tire would qualify.

[CurSedVoyce]

Can always blame me... HAHA

[MasterBlaster]

Tell him your tattooist was calling in his marker. :drink:

[Skwerl]

I don't want to lie, and I did offer to buy it. I'm trying to figure out how to honor my promise, not how to fib my way out of it.

Here's the thread if anybody cares to follow along.

[MasterBlaster]

If you can't dazzle him with brilliance, then baffle him with bullshit.

[Stumper]

Brian, I'd bail you out but I'm barely keeping one nostril out of the water due to Cathy's ongoing medical, etc.

[CurSedVoyce]

Wish I had it B... Man I want one soooo bad... I just don't have it...

[Al Smith]

Oh within a month or so one of those big seasonal winds will go through Fla . and you'll have so much work you won't know what to do .

[Swe#kipp]

Is it a 75cc version of it ??

[woodworkingboy]

Sorry, I'd like to put it on the Jap Yahoo auction site and get your money back. Saws are way pricey here, unless you know the black market route. Unfortunately, since the USPS stopped surface shipping, getting saws here really costs, then the turds in customs now charge sales tax.

[squisher]

You got it bad Brian, bad.

I see my 038 is somewhat famous over there.:/:

[thattreeguy]

so is it the new xpw series?

[Cut4fun]

But you are getting a Free $25 sharpener. :D:lol:


Thank you Rocky its practically new only ran about a half gallon (OF STRAIGHT GAS) gas thru it And i'll even throw in a 25.00 $ sharpening file system.



I just had to throw that ( GAS ) in there Rocky.

[woodworkingboy]

You got it bad Brian, bad.

I can well appreciate Brian's situation. It's a sickness that has proliferated since the internet thing started. :( It can break up homes, too.

[squisher]

Lol, I was already thinking lucky he isn't married. My wife thinks I'm insane with chainsaws, gonna have to start sneaking them home now.:D

[woodworkingboy]

Here's a little tip, get ones that are all the same color, and don't keep them all in one place at the same time. Wives tend to not be observant of the accumulating numbers that way, unless you have to start keeping them in the bedroom too.

[squisher]

Already on it. Orange and white only need apply here.8)

[NeTree]

Well you're half right... ;)

[Cut4fun]

I see Jeff just hit Old Hickory up for the 5% for the sale of the 372 on the donation honor system and warned him about selling in a chainsaw forum. :lol:

[squisher]

Are you serious? That's how it works there? Damn!

[Skwerl]

Old Hockory still hasn't responded to my two private messages, and I still don't have a name to put on the bank check or an address to send it. So now i'll keep my mouth shut until he checks his inbox and responds to my pm (which included my phone number).

[Dave Shepard]

re: Squisher The Forestry Forum actually is set up to be very search engine friendly, and ranks very high in searches. If the Forum helps you sell something, it's only fair to give it a cut. It takes a lot to keep it up and running. Most online advertising sites charge 10% to sell your stuff for you.

[squisher]

Guess I'm just to used to Butch's hospitality.:drink:

[Dave Shepard]

That's fair enough. We sure are lucky to have this place to hang out.:D

[Jonseredbred]

Already on it. Orange and white only need apply here.8)

You starting a junkyard???:D

[Al Smith]

Oh good grief FF has a ton of sponsers and the most user unfriendly method of posting pictures of any web forum on the internet .

I might see charging a little something if a person were just whoring the site as an outlet to peddle goods but just one lousy saw is ridiculous . That is just about as chicken chit as the roofing supply salesman in Littleton Col .:what:

[Dave Shepard]

I am, send me all of your orange and white, and orange saws and saw parts, I'll give them a nice home.;)

[squisher]

No junkers in this line-up.

Thing of beauty right there!8)

[Dave Shepard]

Looks like you've got a couple of loose chains there.:P















:)

[Skwerl]

...and a flat tire on the bucket truck. ;)

[squisher]

I've heard that before.:/:

But atleast most of my bars are right side up.:D

[squisher]

...and a flat tire on the bucket truck. ;)

Lol, those are the new ones! You'll notice that they're not sumitomos only my steerers are.

[Jonseredbred]

Hancooks??

[Al Smith]

...and a flat tire on the bucket truck. ;) --it's only flat on the bottom,roll it over .

[squisher]

Yup, they're a little more of a highway tread then I'd have preferred.



But heh anyways who's taking this saw off of Brian's hands?

[NeTree]

I've decided that this is the place where the top 5% of REAL tree guys hang out.

The other 95% of tree guys are scumbags.

[Stumper]

Now, now Erik, there is no need to denigrate scumbags.

[sotc]

well shoot, where do the scumbags meet? im a hack:D

[NeTree]

A-Site and TreeFuzz. :lol:

[sotc]

toodles

[thattreeguy]

i'd love to,
but i'm fixing my pos chip truck

[Skwerl]

Damn, he finally sent me a PM with his name and address last night. I was going to follow through today but I just can't. I just sent him a PM reniging on the deal. He can think I'm not a man of my word or whatever. But I'm out of money and out of credit, and that lying scumbag that hired me to go to Kentucky has shortchanged every single person that went on that trip.
:(

[woodworkingboy]

Don't bum yourself out about it more than you already have. That sort of thing just happens, sometimes we just get ahead of ourselves, ESPECIALLY ABOUT CHAINSAWS.

[NeTree]

I get the feeling he's about to be shortchanged about $12G's. ;)

[Stumper]

Erik, He who? The lying scumbag?Brian? The saw seller?

[Mr. Sir]

Hey Brian,
Let's make a deal! :/: I'll give $600 for that saw, IF he'll send it to you and you'll tweak it for me before I get it. Deal, or no deal? :D

[NeTree]

Justin, "he" being the guy we all subbed for in KY.

[thattreeguy]

and that lying scumbag that hired me to go to Kentucky has shortchanged every single person that went on that trip.
:([/QUOTE]

WOW BRO
gotta watch disaster response
i ve heard of a lot of people make mad $ but they burn their subs
hope you had something in writing

[Newfie]

Justin, "he" being the guy we all subbed for in KY.

Everybody got screwed at the drive-thru from the sounds. Well except for me, this little piggy stayed home and waited for snow.

[Al Smith]

I wouldn't worry too much about that damned saw . You explained the situation and things do come up at times we have no way of changing .

That aside I've not heard good things regarding that ice storm situation in Ky . I have no doubt a lot of people are going to be out some money .:what:

I was told that just a permit to work in Paducah was $150 plus a fee for each in the crew . Sounds like they weren't too interested in "outside " help to me .

[NeTree]

The permit was free, in the towns I worked in.

KY was a pain from the minute the guv-mint stepped in; no surprise there, is it?

[MasterBlaster]

Hey ya'll watch your fricking language, this AIN'T the Garage.

[NeTree]

?

[MasterBlaster]

What part of "this ain't the Garage" do you not understand?

I edited the obscenities out of two posts already, one of them being yours.

[NeTree]

Didn't even notice.

[MasterBlaster]

That's OK, I did.

[OTGBOSTON]

MB to the rescue! Mind yo manners boyz!

[Jonseredbred]

Who/what company is the scumbag??

[woodworkingboy]

Like how the government steps in and soon the irregularities start to arise, like for the storm damage. It gives a good picture when you think of a a situation the size of Iraq, with all the billions in cash just wheeled in. No surprise lots of unaccounted for funds, kind of mind bogling really, and disgusting.

[NeTree]

Who/what company is the scumbag??

Don Sepe... Sepe Tree Service out of Providence, RI.

Well, this was our government "supervisor"; all day, every day on the FEMA work. The Dodge Durango was a week old, with 800 miles on it. Irks the hell out of me to see someone who makes more than I do, probably... do something this stupid. :roll: He said he just wasn't paying attention: :lol:

[OTGBOSTON]

:/: there are several Sepe family members in the tree biz out of RI. Y'all know what RI stands for....right?

Pah. I'm neither worried nor impressed. ;)

I'm not even that, LOL.

What other kind is there?:lol:

[JamesTX]

Retahdid I-talian

Like this?

[OTGBOSTON]

Pah. I'm neither worried nor impressed. ;)

No need to be. There are at least two other Sepes in the tree biz in RI and southern NE, Northeastern Tree being one of them. They bid on my big removal contract last spring, and won it ($600,000+) then they couldn't get bonded to do it:|: Not a big deal, 'cept they kept saying they could get it, which delayed my removal contract even longer. Still not a huge deal...until they started accusing me of being in bed with the next contractor in line for the job.:X

I was also put off by the fact that they asked if I would pay them to "trim" trees and then remove them afterwards, which basically amounts to them not being able to get trees down for what they bid them at, which is also illegal.....He also kept saying that his dad was having dinner with our Mayor, one phone call proved that to be a total fabrication.

[thattreeguy]

so what happened to the saw?

[Mr. Sir]

:? :/:

[Cut4fun]

You can buy a new 75cc version for $694 plus shipping. So :|: :lol: save a 100 on a used 71cc one :roll:
