    Echo CS-5000 chainsaw

    It looks clean in the ad. Maybe I'll stop and see it after work. What's it worth? Are parts easy to get? Is it a decent saw?

    It is similar in size to my Poulan PP5020, so no neal need ... but CAD and all ...:saw:

    Looks like parts are easily had: Echo CS-5000 - Echo Chainsaw Diagrams and Parts List | PartsTree.com

    Not sure about value - sounds like nobody's buying at $125. Looks like its in real nice condition - maybe if you're looking to start a collection. Do you really want 2 of the same size saws though? A bigger or smaller saw might be more fun...

    Always need a backup. Just in case your secondary saw is down. And your primary is uh... Outta fuel. Yeah, that's it! :whistle:

    That saw looks like its in pretty good shape, I think its worth that, I guess though that depends on what kind of shape the bar is in.
    That saw might not last long on CL , go check it OUT.
    He didn't say whether it was running or not, with fresh gas it will probably start right up

    Well, unfortunately I can't go see it today, but if it is still available tomorrow I'll likely be there.

    As you can see, it is still for sale. Which of course means I haven't bought it (yet). Too busy to see it, life is like that sometimes ...

    Maybe tomorrow? Maybe he really wants to sell, after all it has been online for 5 days now?! ;)

    Most people don't even know that Echoes are good saws, probably why it's still there.
