Another Fake Stihl

[spudulike]

Here we go - chain saws stihl | eBay

 

Another fake Stihl on ebay, see that the seller can't say what the model is and the top view only - no side shots to give the game away!

 

Looks like another Zomax to me! Purchased a couple once as a job lot - waste of time - a year old and in worse condition than 15 year old Huskys plus no resale value!

Contact ebay and file a complaint against the seller, the more complaints filed the sooner they will stop selling crap, also I would let your local media sources know about your suspicions they may wish to research the matter for a story.

That looks very fake! from the advert they don't really say much other than it is a stihl. But the picture alone doesn't really look like one, it looks a bit skinny. On the other hand they might be genuinly thinking its a stihl because it my say that on the bar - some people can be a bit simple.

Here's a saw with the same model number (no doubt the same machine under the covers) for £75 brand new

 

18" 52cc 5200 2 STROKE PETROL CHAINSAW 52 cc | eBay

 

CHAIN OIL: SAE 10W:30 MOTOR OIL

 

It doesn't say whether new or used engine oil is best

I have reported it, I like the way he says he is an old boy but has a "Punto lowering kit" as one of his ebay purchases - obviously a "down with the kids" kind of pensioner

A good rule with Ebay listings, don't bother considering if the seller appears illiterate.
