I tried to buy 10 of these but it wouldn't allow me to, so I ended up buying 2 individually but now the seller says I can only buy 2 items from him at a time and I have to wait 10 days before I can purchase any more from him? Anybody come across this before? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-MTM...art-Tree-Pruning-Chain-Saw/362727136165?
I have rung anybody I can think of to buy me 2 each time so far I think I have about 10 lined up, one mate just emailed me to say he bought 2 for $10 because ANZ had put a $50 credit in his new account. I just looked and they say 10 sold in the last hour. Price has to be a mistake
This is obviously a mistake or a a well orchestrated scam as no one can sell a chainsaw with shipping from China for $27.00 only. As Tyler says it's a mistake with a zero missing off the end and as such they've suddenly discovered it and ended the listing. Don't be surprised that you get a refund and nothing gets sent to you, or you have to do a PayPal claim and get your money back
Cheers, BB.
I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
This is rather interesting as there is another seller here in Australia that's selling the same unit for a bit more but still fairly cheap. There is another 25 odd dollars for shipping involved though.
Hi Tyler, a lot of phone calls getting people with ebay accounts to buy 2 which was the max you could get. Admittedly they are not all for me, other blokes wanted to grab a bargain as well. I think I ended up with 9 See how it works out.
The total number we got booked in was 18 so if it all works out I end up with 9 or 12 depending on who wants to keep what in the end. If it all goes to pot then I had an entertaining day spinning around
Wow well that's good news, I just can't get my head around how anyone can sell something like this for a whole AUD$27.00 and send it Internationally and still make a profit. I'm still scratching my head on that point.
Looks like you'll have "Fastway Couriers" dropping in one after the other like ships in the night with parcels. Your neighbours will start wondering what sort of racket you're running.
Cheers, BB.

Hi BB, only 2 will be dropped here, the others will have to be picked up from friends because we could only order a max of 2 so it took 9 of us to get the 18 of them. I'm wondering if they were meant to be listed at $127 and not $27. I sort of feel bad but if I hadn't chased them somebody else would have grabbed them and before I bought the first ones I read that 36 had been sold in the last 24 hours, so other people had been jumping on them. Just watched a few videos on them they look like an excellent saw, people very happy with them
I still reckon it's a blue on their behalf but no one will give a rats within the process of sending them out unless one of the bean counters within that organisation falls across this by accident and hits the roof in the process.
Anything will be good at $27.00, even it it just did one job and was then tossed out, it'll have paid for itself I guess.
So one has to ask the question if I may, what's actually happening with the 18 saws ????????
Cheers, BB.

Hi BB, That is a question that got a bit lost in the excitement of the chase. 2 were bought by a mate with a mower shop 2 were bought by a mate with a mowing/gardening round He already has 3 saws but couldn't help himself at that price. 2 were bought by another mate who already has a good saw but couldn't resist a bargain 2 were bought by the secretary at my mates factory, she wants one for fathers day the other my mate has claimed at this stage 2 were bought by me daughter for me 2 were bought by my grandsons partner for me 2 were bought by my grandsons partners father for me. 2 were bought by my grandson he wants to keep one and one for me 2 were bought by me for me. The 3 my mate has ended up with may end up as mine once he asks himself what did I buy those for. When I get them all collected up I will have to decide what to do with them, it was all about the chase at the time At this stage I will end up with 9 but could end up with 12
Its inherently problematic to sell chainsaws - because half of the people who want a cheap saw we know shouldn't be allowed to operate one.
I once had someone ask me to tell them how to start their chainsaw - I said that if you don't know how to start it, you ought not really be using it . Another said it stopped cutting half way through a branch - they bumped the chainbrake.
Even if your saws arrive late september it still leaves plenty of time for one hell of a halloween joke - all you need is some of those masks
Norm, does that bloke who you said went off the ladder with a chainsaw whilst drunk still live across the street from you? Reckon he would want one? haha
Very good memory regarding the bloke across the road. Yes he still lives there and believe it or not he brought the chainsaw he was using when he fell across for me to look at it on Saturday. When it hit the ground it punched the side of the pull start in and he couldn't start it. Guess what, he wanted to cut some more branches of the tree he fell out of but he was going to get a mate of his to get up the tree. Even that I see it full of danger because his mate is a big drinker as well.
BB how did you find the sanders, they are $100 cheaper than Edisons price and they usually have the cheapest prices on all that sort of stuff.Funny thing is they both use exactly the same photo in their ads Wonder what it is all about
BB, this one looks very similar but it is $147.90, it has to be a place offloading excess stock. Maybe I don't feel so bad about the chain saws now. I might get some sanders as well and put them on gumtree for $40 that is doubling my money, better than I'm getting from the bank. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Gardeon-Canopy-Swing-Chair-Navy/303206365211?_ Tried to buy a couple of sanders but because I bought 2 chainsaws seller locks me out from buying anything else for the next 10 days. I need to find more friends with ebay accounts
Just read this thread through. I thought I got a bargain when I bought a Gardenline 50cc chainsaw for half price at $80for at Aldos three years back. I have only used it once and not keen on the tooless chain tensioner, but it cut two thick branches with ease when I last used it. It came with a complete hard carry case.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
