Good luck, that’s a fair offer. I got mine new a few years ago for a little over 1k. It has a 24” light bar.
At first i thought holy cow thats a rip off. I see them bringing over MSRP on ebay. Its a ported saw hence the higher price. Im guessing a few hundred dollars more. Figure 13% of that is just ebay/paypal fees too. Maybe huskihl can chime in. Whats the retail for a ported 500i Kevin? Is his price out of line? Is a 500i porting more involved than a "regular" saw?
Yeah im sure this is good for the economy people buying used sthils for the double the price with loans
He didn’t say who it was ported by. If it was somebody well-known, that usually adds $3-350. If it was by Joe Schmo, I wouldn’t pay retail for it because you’re taking too much chance on not running as well as a stock saw
What about bringing a cordless angle grinder out in the woods to get this one? IDK just spitballing...
We moved it down the hill and left it for the next hoarder! We joked about it. Theres PLENTY of primo oak there yet. We had planned for yesterday as another trip but he couldnt get the day off. Sevaral BL trunks down the way too.
Wasnt going cutting today, but last frozen day for a while and a couple "new" saws had me decide to go anyhow. Rain and warmer temps will turn storage area into MUD! Called buzzsaw but with last minute he couldnt change his schedule. Hit the score and cut the only barkless down locust. Couldve gotten away without the 462 but bucked a few rounds with it anyhow. Couple long down small cherry trunks finished out the load. More to be had buried under leaves with a couple blow downs right next to where is was cutting. We might go next weekend.
Hit the score today. Three hours work navigating the stacks of logs. Some frozen in place yet. Both got healthy loads. He freed up some buried BL that filled out my PU. His load Fun times and nice weather. Still PLENTY there.
Yeah Buddy! I'm ready for next time. Small trailer is buried to the axle in mud in backyard , no worries though I have a spare if I need it. Thanks for the fun and the help , good times for sure and can't wait until next time.
