Anyone sell a Husky on eBay last October? ;-)

[jamallio96]

Hey everyone, thought it'd be worth checking this - I started having a go at this tree surgery business last September, and bought my dad's tiny echo off him so I'd have a saw for a couple of my own little jobs - but that meant he didn't have a saw, so he goes on eBay and finds a little husky homeowner saw for 140 ish quid, and buys it as a birthday present for himself in late October.

The saw arrives, and in the box is not, as expected, a little small engined homeowner saw, but a semi-pro 445e with an 18" bar! Lots of eye rubbing and checking and re checking, but nope - he really had just (somehow) bought a brand new 45cc semi pro husky for £140! So pretty quick smart I says take your echo back, I'm having the nice big saw! And throw him £200 for it, absolute steal.

But yeah, wanted to see if it was anyone on here that had sold the saw, and if it was then thank you very much, I'd have got nowhere near as far by now with the little echo as I've been able to with my lovely husky!

Nah, I've been using it for months and it cuts like a proper good-un! Just having some problems with "easy tool less" clutch cover and tensioner (of course) [emoji19]

tool less

 

Funny you should mention that, novelty acts are seldom popular

Did you contact the seller about the mistake? As it sounds like you're boasting about being dishonest?!

He bought it off his dad for £60 more than it cost on eBay and gave his dad the Echo back, how do you work this out ? It's going to cost him to get rid of the tool free tensioner as well.
