Sick of seeing these on ebay!!!

The other thing that worries me is they don't have any Inertia chain brakes on em, if they have kickback the chain stays moving on full throttle, I'm sure this is shown on youtube somewhere.

We ought to report these saws on mass to ebay, they are an absolute rip off & it takes but a minute to do, potentially saving someone a lot of heartache, & preventing con artists from easy pickings.

Well said, agreed

Stihl 20" Chainsaw | eBay

[Gnome]

I would have thought that Stihl and Husqvarna would have people employed in their vast empires to have these sort of things removed due to their obsession to protect their brands.

 

It is commendable that you guys get involved. I am a bit more in the darwin camp on this. If someone buys one of these machines from ebay they deserve everything they get. I like to support strong brands with my hard earned and in return like to hope i'm not going to kill myself with there products.

 

Wouldn't by a car from a bloke down the pub either.

I would, but I'd want to see it first, have a spin in it etc. I would apply the same criteria to buying a car or a saw off ebay.

 

I have actually bought a saw off ebay, but it was described as spares or repairs and I needed the spares and the price was right. I also didn't hand over cash until I'd seen it, it was local. If everyone used a bit of common sense about these things there would be fewer problems.

 

Agree that Stihl and Husqy should be doing more about this rather than concerned citizens.

These are used saws that the owners have probably been mugged for previously.I doubt they know any different.It doesnt make it right, and it should be reported though, but theres plenty of tosspots importing knockoffs from china that want hitting by trading standards.

The first one though.100 quid postage?really?
