    46 Today!

    Happy birthday lad.....
  12. Yes but there's a recommended retail price, the same with thousands of products on the market. My point was is that if stihl is so rigid with there dealers over selling saws to unknown customers, it's nice to see they turn a blind eye to them pricing there products through the roof.
  13. Nice pup good luck with him hope he's a good one for you.
  14. Market force, it seems more like a cartel over here, certain things are cheaper certain things are more expensive. But there's no big difference's in day to day living.
  15. People need there head looked at simply as that, They think Ebay then it must be a bargain, A quick copy and paste to goggle and you normally find it cheaper...
  16. If stihl is as strict with there company policy's then they should be a bit stricter when it comes to pricing! There's different stihl dealers selling the same products at vast differences in price, there's the guts of £200 difference in the same saw between two dealers. Surly that can't be rite, I except certain dealers to be more competitive but to the tune of £200 it just shouldn't happen.
  17. Am sure Mr Jones will tell us, there's rule and then there rules but in cases like this there better ignored imo. I understand why there used but putting restriction on suppliers like this surely can't be good.
  18. It is down to the dealers discretion, Cathcart over her in northern Ireland will sell me a saw but am not paying £750 for the pleasure. Jonesie tells me to check the link which is no good when he won't sell me the saw (emailed two weeks ago to ask) Lets face it the way work and money is just now company's should be doing anything to get your custom, and these pointless rules only make it difficult to do business. I have family living in Scotland as that's where am from, but by the time you pay flights or a boat trip they whole thing would be a waste of time. I do the odd trip to England in the lorry so that looks like the only way, but in saying that stihl's policy is that you need to be a known customer which I am not.
  19. ANY "gas oil" you have in stock on or after Jan 1st 2011 can be used as normal, when your next reorder ask for "ULS gas oil" which will also make ALL your equipment run cleaner and start easer and have a little more power, some of us were using this >7 years ago. Run cleaner maybe, more power doubt that, unrefined derv ie red, gives more power than the forecourt stuff as there no additives and your getting pure derv. Who is going to know what fuel your using after the 1st? It's not like your running it on the road.
  20. Sorry couldn't pay that for it good luck in getting her sold.

  21. How much are you wanting for it?

  22. Yes it was fr jones I reckon if I was in England with the cash I could get one even cheaper what a nonsense the chainsaw buying thing is.
  23. Some of you are missing the point I am simply asking what names sounds good or names you wished you maybe had used. As far as the comment a good name is earned that's different altogether, thought It would fun to see what people on here would come with. But yet some again people get above there station with smart answers, try and not take yourselves to serious boys. And for all the other answers well done some cracking one's.
  24. If you where going to start a new tree surgery business what what you call it? Suggestions would be great seems alot of the good one's have been taken but am sure there is loads of good names yet to be put to use, ideas would be greatly appreciated.
  25. I was away today looking at a new stihl ms441 and quoted £750 inc vat and thats with the fuel can a few 1 shot and any sized bar up to 24". The problem is that in live in northern and dealer competition is a bit slim on the ground. I could buy the same saw in England for £520 plus the vat but with the stihls policy I can't get mail order has anybody any suggestions of what to do.
