    I went up to $150. Others bid it up to $164. Assuming the winner was willing to pay more than that, it would’ve gone higher if I kept bidding too. With the commission it probably would’ve been north of $200. And it was a 40 min drive to get it.

    All that said, today I’m feeling some regret that I didn’t keep going.:(

    Been there done that on ebay. With the round trip it wouldnt be worth it IMO. If you are looking for a certain saw post a thread in the classified section. Maybe a member has a saw for sale? Ive sold a couple saws on here and shipped them.

    I agree with Brad. Add the cost of fuel round trip and you'd be in a good clip more than you wanted. They'll be more.

    Don't worry, there are always more chainsaws coming down the line.
