    I'm always looking for saws to fix and flip. I think this brings new meaning to the word 'brand new.' It's like when I'm looking on Ebay and compression is 110psi and it says 'good compression.'

    This is so typical on my local CL.
    Listed as new then you read a little more and it has only been used a couple times ; OK so which is it??

    For someone to list that saw as new is just plain stupidity , even Stevie Wonder could tell that it is used.

    As far as chainsaws go...if it's 'brand new', show me the box it came in, or let me sniff the gas tank.

    I saw a 359 or 346XP recently on Ebay where the plastics looked pristine. Upon further inspection, I noticed this orange overspray on the handlebar, fins of the cylinder and other areas. The guy literally spray painted all of the plastic flo orange. WTF?

    He can’t call it new. So yeah I would say like new is a safe bet. Still to nice to call it slightly used.
