    Are you buying them for resale? If so, and you don't mind me asking, which one are you buying, and how much are you hoping to get for each?

    I was thinking of the 2255 and trying to get $350 for it. It would be an easier sell on CL than the 2166.

    Got some 2050. Trying to offset the cost of the 1 I am keeping. Like you, figured more people would buy a $400 saw for $250 versus a $800 saw saw for $600. Alot more people willing and able to spend $250 than $600. I am not sure what I will ask for sure. Better hurry, not a lot left.

    If anybody is thinking of getting any, EBAY has a15% off sale with their app until 7pm PST today. Would have saved me $100 if the sale was Sunday

    Thanks for the tip. Felt in a giving mood and bought a 2255 and had it shipped to my dads house. He loves his poulan wild thing so much he might reject this new red saw! Got 37 bucks off with the coupon.

    Yeah, I thought about it, but got busy and let it slip past.

    Are these saws being discontinued or something? Why the big sale?

    Yes.
    They are now rebadging them as Redmax. No more Jonsered. And not all models will be kept in production

    Post some pics when you get it.
    I've never seen the quick adjust version.

    It is not the quick adjust style. I'll try to post pics soon.

    All 4 of them look good. The toolless adjuster looks nicer and easier to use than one on the Stihl ms250 I use at work.[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    It finally came today via Purolator.

    It'll be a nice compliment to my slightly smaller 2165. I'll use both of them to cut up the firewood logs this fall so they both get use.
    These are both beautiful machines.

    Apparently the R stamped into the handle
    Means refurbished
    I've had mine apart and it's never seen wood
    Or had any damage
    Some guy's on ope and as received
    Well used saws with cosmetic damage and one with a broken handle.
    These were advertised as new
    That's not true
    mine is new condition even though it's a 2013 model.
    Other's got 2016 models i spoke with.

    My 4 have "R" stamped on them. 3 of them look 100% perfect upon initial inspection.

    That’s pretty deceitful. It specifically states “NOT REFURB” right in his listings. My dad received his 2255 but I haven’t been over to check it out. Given the price I wouldn’t be against purchasing a refurb but it should be listed as so.

    Mine has the R on the handle when turned upside down but has zero signs of ever being used or started. No smell from the gas tank, no scratches or oil seepage from anywhere.
