    Craigslist, classifieds etc... What deals have you missed out on?

    This was posted on CL today. I knew there was no way I could get there since we had family in town, so I let DexterDay know about it. He missed out on it as well.

    As long as this wasn't straight gassed, it was a heck of a deal.

    That 362 looked like a great deal!

    I've been late on a couple deals.

    Just misses on a nice looking Stihl 064 (posted about it earlier this week) the guy was going to be coming throug my town last Monday, but sold it before that.

    Also missed on a Stihl 261 like new with case for $375. I was gong to be near is town in like 2 days, but sold before i could get there.

    Oh well, I don't have time to use the saws I have so not the end of the day.

    I'm still looking for a good deal on a "big" saw!

    I missed out on a new never used 8' Landpride back blade that was listed on CL for $650.

    Well the very same back blade was backup on CL this week from a different seller this time for $900.
