Stihl chainsaw problem

At this time of the year, when loggers are buying new saws, they would be faced with people trying to sell them trade-ins. This way all trade-ins get the same $75 and nobody's feelings get hurt. They also gets to keep all the saws that otherwise would be sold as "used" to a secondary market. The people who would be buying these saws then have to come to them. They refurb the saws and sell them at a profit to the secondary market. It's called "multiple revenue streams from one product line" and I know that's way over your head.

They have been in business for over 100 years servicing the logging industry. Which is about 99 years and 11 months longer than you have been running your lemonade stand.

Jim never said which model Stihl he has, or what kind of condition it's in. For all we know, it could cost him five or six hundred bucks to replace it, which would make a 75 buck trade-in chump change. I'd always go for the repair first; just because the first insert was no good doesn't mean it can't be fixed right the second time.
