Stihl MS201TC Top Handle Professional Arborist Chainsaw

WWW.EBAY.CO.UK

---

The MS 201 TC-M top handle chainsaw is available in various bar lengths and is ideal for all the tasks an arborist faces on a daily basis. The MS 201 TC-M is STIHL’s most powerful top handle chainsaw.

 

Found a “Stihl” top handle for sale - I’m guessing the stickers are where the value is in this saw! [emoji23]

Worth twice as much if it's got oil in it!

 

But seriously, who buys this shite?!

Any arb or forestry guy knows it's junk, the majority of homeowners either buy the main brands or go to the german discounters for the three year warranty and the pikeys steal any of the above, so where is the market for this stuff?!

Its in Joe Public who know a little bit ( like the pros use Stihl/Husqvarna etc ) but has no idea what they look like .....and then is disappointed  ....

Not far from me, perhaps I should go and see it

I tried to report it but eBay have changed their reporting process and there is no easy way to say someone is selling a fake piece of shyte anymore!

£260 for a non working bit of crap that cost £60 new.....some people must be dumb.

I was actually given one of these by a friend who found it in a house clearance. It took a lot of tweaking to get it idling correctly, once that was sorted it ran well - BUT and it’s a big BUT, the fumes off it were horrible, the chain tensioner was held by plastic and would break pretty quickly, filling it was a nightmare with the handle in the way, the exhaust would have burnt toast at ten yards and it wasn’t very comfortable to hold

Gonna have to tick a lot of boxes to fall for that one though

 

Too cool to buy from a dealer, OK

 

Lidl? OK,OK, some people never got over the whole German thing! (Do, quickly, ye could be fighting with them against the Russians soon enough!)

 

Clearly has no experience of saws, ok

 

Colourblind. Fine, I understand that.

 

Too cheap to be any good, maybe it's just a great offer, pushing it but OK.

 

Inability to visually cross reference items on the Internet while at the same time being proficient enough to use ebay. That's a stretch but OK.

 

All factors combined and you have a customer!

 

 

If anyone ticks most of these boxes I have some magic beans for sale. Stubby has some genuine digital rolexs too!

If it was close to me it’s go and ask for a fiver….to cover the fuel for wasting my time [emoji23]

He has some other cheap Chinese saws for sale but this one has the real stickers on it.

I think it may be Zomax rearing its ugly head again!

Caveat emptor!

There is a difference between a copy and a counterfeit, this falls into the latter, perhaps if everybody here bombards him with personal messages he may get the message.

Have messaged him after also finding it impossible to report to eBay
