Ok so here is the auction to help out a local family. The auction will run through Nov 21st ending at 10pm. This is a brand new saw and has not had any fluids in it, the new owner will be the first one to put oil and fuel in it. All the paperwork and saw will be shipped in the box. If you need a copy of the receipt for any warranty purposes I will send you a copy of it. Saw comes with an 18" .325 bar and chain. The MS 261 C-M has all the same great features as the MS 261 – low exhaust emissions, high fuel efficiency and robust performance – for professional users and homeowners with large jobs, with the added benefit of advanced STIHL M-Tronic™ engine management system. With STIHL M-Tronic™ an onboard microprocessor digitally monitors and automatically compensates for changes in your work conditions including elevation, temperature, fuel quality, varying octane levels and dirty air filters. The end result is maximum performance across a wide range of cutting conditions without making any manual adjustments. If you are interested in the story behind the need you can PM me. But in short it is a heartbreaking story, there are 4 kids with he oldest being 11 that are cared for by their grandparents since it wasn't safe at home from what their father had done to them. He is in jail now awaiting trial on other very serious charges. Grandpa was the only source of income in the family and he has cancer and is now not able to work and he is not doing well. Then the story got even worse when the second oldest child, a 10 year old girl had a severe asthma attack in school that caused a massive heart attack. The heart attack shut down her brain activity and put her on life support. There was no further brain activity and she died after life support was removed. Now the family is facing losing there car and not being able to pay bills like electric, house payment, ect. There are a few different samll things going on to help the family but I wanted to also contribute so I purchased this saw today and am selling at auction. I did get a discount on it as my local Stihl dealer is very generous. So let the bidding begin, and please keep comments to a minimum lets focus on bids..........
The last one of these I donated for a benefit went for 2k. The guy that bought it at the benefit also donated the saw do he was over 2500 deep into it. Come on guys this people need to have a Christmas too
