The Stihl 880 scam.

Somebody is so tired of this that they posted this.

Stihl 090 scam on our CL
See them now & then.
On CL , buy local

 

I'd worry the 090 would be one of those Chinese copies.

 

Was told it was a scam
Not sure, don't want one either way
If I buy off CL. I see , touch & feel & then we discuss price

Sometimes the scam is only to get your email or contact info. That's why I have a burner email account! And I won't go look at something until we've spoken on the phone -- only way to get a true sense of the seller/buyer.

 

The pic is funny though, you'd think the scammer could use a different pic every now and then

 

Yea that is funny same saw in a box for the last few years.

 

One went around a while ,362 & high dollar winch.
Guy here copied SCAM on the pic & ran an ad for $1 on same page

 

$600 for an 880. Exactly what I wanted for X-Mas.

The price is a little unbelievable.
