Thread: Massive amount of GB guide bars purchased

Well a few of you already know that I recently purchased a large amount of chainsaw guide bars from GB, some of these are obsolete replaced by newer models but still fit current Stihl & Husky etc, some were excess stock, some are specifically for the US market, and there are about 120 + extra long titanium bars ranging from 44" up to 72".

Total number of bars I purchased is abt 2000 and represents abt $90 - 100K at normal dealer prices.

BobL asked me if I was trying to corner the market - all I will say is that no other dealers were offered these bars, and I may have got the long bar market by the short & curlies.

I will be selling these by the inch for $2.20 / inch up to 36" bars and $3 / inch for bars 44 - 72" GST inclusive. This is a special for FORUM MEMBERS

If any of you that mill or just crosscut need a bar you will never buy at these prices again. See if you can buy a 32" bar for around $70 or a 72" bar for $216 - that's about half of dealer cost. RRP is abt $175 on the shorty and around $650 on the long bar.

I have offered over 1000 bars to a couple of dealers in the US and some in Europe with some interest being shown.

If you wish to have a look at what's available, go to my website in the specials section.

Most of what I don't sell within 12 months will be offered to overseas dealers.


Cheers .... Laurie

PS: I did send an email to the chief 2 days ago about whether it was ok to put this info on the site, however I did not receive a response, so I take it that all is fine.
