stihl ms 500i Dilemma: What to do with a totally new MS 500i ?

But a dealer surely isn't allowed to sell it to someone under 18. Even at Tesco they want to see an ID if you buy a kitchen knife.

I don't know if that is true . You say " surely "  because you feel that is morally correct , it may well be the case but I don't know to be honest .

Thanks again!!! I will try to find out from eBay if they have a way of verifying someone's age. I guess every time anything sharp is being sold via eBay they are facing the same problem.

I honestly don't think its a problem for ebay . A sale is a sale to them . You could sell a tactical nuclear war head to a children's nursery as far as they are concerned .

Ebay has nothing to verify age.

 

Who under 18 is likely to hve the money to buy a 500i anyway?

 

Just bang it on eBay and be done with it.

Thanks!!

I imagine you'd get £700-850 for a brand new 500i. My lightly used 572XP was 670 i think. Seeing a few well-used 046s going for £500+ lately and they're quite a bit smaller and a fair few years old.

 

Someone on here might even have it. Or put it on eBay and if you're willing to ship abroad it might go to the US as they haven't got them yet.

We just did a ~32" one in Shepherd's Bush, right next to Wormwood Scrubs.
