Buying new/first saw advice please

[rfalk]

While I didn't haggle on the 361 I bought about a month ago, I did call around. Within 10 miles of my house are 4 dealers....price ranged from $524 to $629 for engine, 20" bar, and chain. Naturally, I chose the $524.....I did ask if they could do me a deal on chain..sold me as many chains as I wanted (new Stihl) for $14.95....I bought 5.....

Pays to call around.
