Echo CS-5000

Never know Craigslist brings a lot of people just talking crap they don't really want to go buy the dang thing, no shows, low ballers, all that kind of stuff, maybe that's why he still has it.

 

You better get over there and take a look at that saw, you might have your hoarder card revoked

 

• That is a good price on that saw i have looked on spokane craigslist just for fun, it looked to me like prices were pretty high.

 

Did you buy it?

 

Sorry...there's one available locally.

 

No need for apology. How much they askin?

 

$130. Don't sound like there is much wiggle room there either. Saw appears to be in very nice condition considering age. Nothing looks broken or missing. Rubber on hadle wrap is almost undamaged. I can see a slight burn mark near the muffler on the clutch cover though. Some scuffs and stains but that's expected on. I have some affinity for the gray Echos for unknown to me reasons and know that this one and the 4600 are pretty quality units. Not as much fan fare as the following generation, but are said to be solid units that respond well to a muffler fix. The 510s are supposed to make incredible power, but are clamshell where the 5000 is split mag. I have some unwritten credo that says I must only buy metal crankcase saws.

If I can talk myself into it, I will just mod the muffler and work on aesthetics a little bit. It's not so much the money...this is good value if the piston cylinder are clean...sigh...another saw. lmao I have no shortage of 50cc saws, but it's the size I use most frequently and I like the idea of having a nice saw that's not seen around much anymore. Being an Echo, if it comes to live with me it will likely still be in working order when I am no longer around.

This is the part where not having a facebooger account is *helpful for me. I have to beg someone that does to contact sellers and give them my phone number. I do a lot of window shopping rather than buying that way.
