I didn't even try to sell it or give it away because I felt bad for the next person using it.
Ended up getting an Echo and have been very happy since.
I wouldn't even waste my time with another cheap 2 cycle even if it was free.
most people will buy this deal, put regular fuel in mixed with the little 2-c engine oil that is included. use it, and just put it away. 6+ months from now they will try to start it and it would not work. conclusion : i would rather get a battery trimmer and not have to deal with fuel, carb rebuild, starting problems, fuel smell, fuel cost . . . I already have batteries that I use with my drill . . .
plus you add the carb rebuild shop shark practices, and most folks after a single carb shop visit will have no hesitation in switching to battery for good.
at the end of the day the 2 cycle tools are now becoming the tool of the DIY type, and battery is now the tool for the average folk . . . this trend is irreversible and would inevitable lead to the end of the 2 cycle tools for average consumer, and at some point for pro too.
Nothing on that list is near me, but no worries, I've already started drilling for oil, and am currently watching a youtube video on how to build your own refinery with household parts. I will not be stopped!
BTW, I agree completely with the comments above regarding Ethanol leading to carb problems with small gas engines. I have similarly gone the route of buying the $5/quart in a steel can pre-mixed stuff, even though mixing oil with gas is well within my capabilities. I expect that people who use such engines every day or at least monthly will have less problems with this than many of us do.
