    I PMed the seller asking if he knew how many of these Stihl manufactured and he didn't know, but stated 30 were given out/alotted for Connecticut.

    Ah yes, materialism! I'd be willing to give an extra $50 for those 'bold new graphics' and not a penny more. Anyone trying to convince me that these saws are worth more than an ounce of gold can take a long walk off a short pier.

    I just checked and it is no longer available. I had contemplated buying it but if she found out I spent $5400 on a chain saw id get :heidi:

    Wonder how much it'd be worth in the future? Time will tell.

    LOL!

    Like RCBS stated its the same saw but with a different plastics. It is rather gnarly looking.

    $4k saw to cut $100 worth of wood. I doubt even the speediest Faller could justify at $.04/board ft.
