Found this saw and it looks like it is in great shape. They guy wants $425 for it is that a decent deal if it checks out?
That's a great deal at $425. I'd offer $400. That's the same as a 372xp (early edition, non strato). Which is a heck of a saw. The one by me and Cut4fun for $225 was a GREAT price. Had I known about it earlier, I would have snagged it. I'd buy one of those a day, every day, for the rest of my life at that price. But it was gone soon after it went up. It's hard to find a nice condition, low hour 70 cc saw for sub $400. 044, 440, 046, 460, 2171, 2172, 372xp, and 372 XT are normally always $500+. I got 2 good deals under $400. But I contacted the seller within minutes of posting. Good deals don't last long in this neck of the woods.
If'n you need a good reliable cutting saw? In the 70 cc class? This is a good one. It would give your 272xp a break and if you ever ported it? These quad port Husq motors respond very well to it
I am pretty partial to my Masterminded 460 when I reach for a 70cc saw I just ran across this one on the interweb and it seemed pretty nice. I sent the person an email about an hour age when I got off work so we shall see if I get a response. If anyone is interested it's on CL and you should do me a favor and beat me to it cause my wife might just kill me me if I end up bringing it home
