I see this in Craigs List

I'm having a hard time believing it's not a scam, or stolen.

chainsaw - farm & garden - by owner - sale

Used like New stihl 461 super modified with West Coast muffler front and max flow air filter

Or typo

 

[Burnham]

Perhaps that's it.

Typo seems most likely to me. They know enough about saws to know what a barkbox is, and can spot modified filtration. That means they know what it's worth, so even if stolen, it would have a price closer to reality.

My all time favourite saw. Would be beyond a bargain at that price

 

[lxskllr]

$1150 is my guess. Probably worth it since the 'Made in Germany' paper sticker isn't even worn off, but not much of a deal. That's about retail price.

I like typo better than the other reasons I came up with.

Unfortunately those types of 'typos' are scams 99% of the time. More popular on Facebook since Craigslist tends to be more local. I found a deal once here in Orlando and I wanted to go meet him and pick it up. He massaged me back twice, wanting me to send him funds and he would ship it. Once he figured out I was insisting on picking it up in person he deleted his (obviously fake) profile.

He massaged me back twice,

At least you got a massage out of it.

I'm not even going to fix it now that you pointed it out!

 

[flushcut]

Scam and more than likely stolen. Could also be a knock off, that was stolen. Lol

 

[treebilly]

Scam with pictures found on the intereb most likely

 

[Burnham]

Well, it's still there after 4 days. Someone surely would have snapped it up if it was legit. The ad price hasn't been corrected either. So it must be wonky some way or another.

 

[gf beranek]

Something smells.

 

[Burnham]

Just checked that ad...now deleted by it's author. Who knows.

 

[lxskllr]

He's thinking "WTF?! I can't give this saw away. I listed it as cheaply as possible, and no bites" :^D
