Anyone want a Stihl MS500i 100th Anniversary Edition?

Just popped up on FBM. $5400

If no one does I'm gonna ask Skier76 if he'll go halves on it?

 

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.

 

Listing is gone when I go to link!

 

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

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

 

HA! Imagine showing up at a scrounge with that saw?

 

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.

 

Another one popped up for $4500. Any takers?

I sense incoming regrets. May take a bit, but they will come.

 

Especially if the chinees do a knock off one that looks like an anniversary edition, but for $3-400!

 

It's value is tied to a very small niche. When opting to sell your collector saw for collector prices, you need a collector not a hoarder.

 

Im both. Not necessarily a collector of chain saws though.

 

I was a no for the 1400.00 500 so I’m out.

 

Cheapskate

 

C'mon Brad... when are you picking yours up? I thought everyone in Connecticut was a gozillionaire using crumpled wads of $1,000 bills in lieu of toilet paper

 

Not in my county!

 

Everyone is saying it’s just an extension of Manhattan. It’s where they have their weekend homes.

 

The BEP used to print $1000 notes. Popular collectors item selling for well above face value.

 

The fascination with currency as a 'collection' thing I never did get. Someone will pay more for Gold shaped into a coin with certain things embossed on it? Well, to me it's just still a piece of Gold and it's value is based on weight rather than aesthetics. I guess that says something about my personality or something.
