Well, just got my bailey's catalog today in the mail. They are
cutting prices on their Husky saws and offering free UPS shipping.
You can step up a bit and get the 240-series 38CC 16" BAR & CHAIN for
the same $200 at the moment. Step up to an 18-inch bar and it's $45
more. And, as I mentioned, shipping is free.

Bailey's is an old-time Northern California saw shop which has
embraced the digital age. I think they have even opened up a
distribution center on the East Coast.

Anyway, if you are interested, Google them.
