Maybe I just got lucky but I bought a bargain Poulan chain saw at the 
local co-op a few
years ago. Complete with carrying case for somewhere around the one 
hundred dollar
mark which is pretty cheap for a chain saw. I have not used it a lot but 
it starts when
I need it and cuts trees down so I've probably got my money's worth out 
of it already.
