OK I know it is a huge YMMV but my local Home Depot has a bunch of returned/refurbed lawn and garden equipment for 50% off the lowest price. I bought this tiller Ariens tiller for $100. Brand new other than a small dent in the gas tank. There were chainsaws, weedeaters,etc.
This was in Lawrence, KS but might be worth a look in your local area.
I stumbled across a one-off refurbed Echo CS-310 chainsaw at my HD a few weeks ago. It was $80 and the regular price was $199. It looked like someone bought it, used it once and returned it. I was even able to register it on Echo's site for the 5 year warranty!

I think that was mine. A tree pinched the bar but I was able to bend it straight and return it for full refund. Good luck!
Germanpope: OK, I think the purpose of YMMV is to warn off the high-blood-pressure threadcrappers who live to spend ten minutes telling everyone how someone wasted thirty seconds of their day. So, for me, "Threadcrappers start your engines" is an acceptable substitute. Sufficient warning IMHO.
Or, if you were joking, that was some AWESOME sarcasm. (See previous sentence for example of awesome sarcasm)

Chainsaw bars are not that expensive or difficult to replace. I did a quick search and found one for $20 for this saw.

I too hate lawns and gardens, but I hate landscapers even more. At 7am when the 200mph leaf blowers crank up, visions of looking through the scope of a 30-06 at those wielding them dance through my head..
Hopefully not to off topic, but Lowes (Issaquah, WA) has some items for sale like this. Some decent mark downs from original pricing, but boy was some of the items beat up. They had a nice BBQ that I have been looking at, but it was all beat up.
Green for thread title alone, although I will look for an electric start lawnmower so my mom can mow her little square without having to pull the rope.

Why not get her an electric *lawnmower* instead, so she doesn't have to worry about oil changes, buying and storing and letting gasoline go stale, and all the other 'stuff'?

Threadcrap = fertilizer = leads to a nice, healthy lawn = leads to the need to mow it = the need to look for deals on lawncare products = leads to threadcrapping. It is a vicious cycle I tell ya.

I was going to try to insert a ku joke about not needing these lawnmowers to mow the rock lawns around their trailers, but nothing really seemed to apply.....

A Halloween tribute to my friends from Misery er Missouri....
GHOST SEX A professor at the University of Missouri was giving a lecture on the supernatural.
To get a feel for his audience, he asks: "How many people here believe in ghosts?"
About 90 students raise their hands. "Well, that's a good start. "Out of those of you who
believe in ghosts, do any of you think you have seen a ghost?"
About 40 students raise their hands. "That's really good. I'm really glad you take this seriously.
"Has anyone here ever talked to a ghost?" About 15 students raise their hand.
"Has anyone here ever touched a ghost?" Three students raise their hands. "That's fantastic. Now let me ask you one question further. "Have any of you ever made love to a ghost?" Way in the back, Bubba from Columbia raises his hand.
The professor takes off his glasses and says: "Son, all the years I've been giving this lecture
no one has ever claimed to have made love to a ghost. You've got to come up here and tell us
about your experience." The big redneck student replied with a nod and a grin, and began to
make his way up to the podium. When he reached the front of the room, the professor Asks:
"So, Bubba, tell us what it's like to have sex with a ghost.
" Bubba replied: "Shiiiit!! From way back there I thought you said "Goats
