    Auction ended already. It would have been worth it to find out!

    EDIT: Just noticed the seller has zero feedback. That's a warning for sure, but ebay protects buyers so I still would have.

    That makes me feel a little better. At least I'm not the only one who would of bought it. I'll think about that when I get a chinky 18" bar in the mail next month.

    You don't like fit and finish, take many pics and open a return case. Show how what you got is different from what was advertised. You should get 100% refund.

    If it wasnt for the 2nd pic, I would have thought it was a whole chainsaw for $28.00

    But it is.... at least so it says in the auction. Features listed include automatic oiler and anti-vibe tech.

    I never saw the link last night, just the pics above.
    Quick question........... If he has 2 of these (one bnib, 1 display) why does it ship from china? The display sign is in english.
    I bet you get just a bar.

    The whole thing is odd! The description says it is a Jonsered 2159 chainsaw. Every part of it. I am anticipating getting that blue streak bar in the mail. But maybe it will be some Chinese saw that looks like it? Or saw parts in a box? Or maybe nothing will come? Or maybe I will get an email saying it was an inaccurate description? But there is a very slight chance that he has these nos in china so for $30, I took the chance. I am keeping my fingers crossed!

    Even on those you build saws, the shipping is like $200 plus the cost of the sawkit.
    So, my answer is "yes its misleading".
    Im so confused:tears:

    I certainly took it as the entire saw. If you read the description, as MasterMech stated, auto oiler and antivibe plus more.

    It clearly states chainsaw WITH 18" bar and chain. If I didn't receive a saw, it would go back...

    I took the gamble on this one a couple weeks ago, same deal, located in China, seller has 0 feedback, I'm 99.9% sure it'll turn out to be a scam, but for the gamble, why not? Not very often you get to gamble with 100% money back guarantee.

    It is marked shipped, but no tracking information. That's correct, this one is supposed to be used.

    There was a big mess about that a few years ago, someone did that in eBay. They have regulations to guard against that now.
