If you are in the market to buy a chainsaw then you are probably looking for a good deal.  The best source for affordable chainsaws can be on line auction sites like ebay. Often you can save quite a lot of money shopping the auction sites for a chainsaw. First, try to know what you are looking for. Decide what brands you will be happy with. Knowing if you want an electric or gasoline chainsaw will help you narrow down your search. The key to getting a great deal on a chainsaw online is being flexible and taking your time. Just because you don’t see what you are looking for doesn’t mean you should settle for less than what you want. Remember their are new chainsaws being listed online all the time.

Ebay is one of the best ways to get a chainsaw at the best price too. To get the best price wait and bid on the chainsaw you want until a few minutes before the auction ends. Try not to get caught up in a bidding frenzy. If you don’t get the chainsaw you are wanting then chances are next week someone else will list a similar chainsaw for sale.  Here is a a sample of some of the great deals you can get on ebay today:

Before bidding you should check out what the shipping charges will be to your zip code. Sometimes shipping is included in “buy it now” auctions. Prior to bidding make sure to check out the sellers feedback. This will let you see what other previous purchasers have to say about their experience with the seller. I recommend going with a seller that has a minimum of 30 positive feedback and a rate of 97% or better just to be save. Making your purchase through Paypal is a great idea because you have away to get your money back if the chainsaw isn’t as described.

Keep your cool and know what you are willing to spend, stay withing your budget, and be aware of retail prices for comparison so you don’t end up paying too much. The biggest tip of all is to not get caught up in bidding, don’t make it personal.

Another tip to get the best deal on your chainsaw is to search for auctions ending during the week or on holidays when typically there aren’t as many people online.

The Black & Decker Alligator Lopper electric chainsaw is a great chainsaw anyone and especially for those that aren’t quite comfortable working a regular chainsaw.  This electric chainsaw is easy to use and features a scissor like action and is capable of cutting up to 4 inch branches.

This is a great chainsaw for the average homeowner.   This chainsaw cuts fast and is light, weighing it at only 6.5 pounds.   The 4 1/2 amp motor is strong enough to get the job done.  The rugged plastic handles hold up to wear and tear.   This chainsaw is easy enough for beginners to use.

The Alligator Lopper cuts side to side instead of up and down, like normal chainsaws so you won’t have to worry about this chainsaw getting stuck in the dirt.  This chainsaw is so easy to work, it makes cleaning up after a storm and yearly pruning a breeze.   The Black and Decker Alligator Lopper is a great alternative to traditional chainsaws.

Here’s a cool video of ice carving.  A 300 pound chunk of ice is turned into a masterpiece.  This guy is good!
