    Best time to Unload some saws?

    When is the best time to sell off some of my Stihls? Summer while people are working or fall when people are thinking about winter. I've come to the truth that I don't need 20+ saws for the 7 cords of wood I use a year.

    I would think late summer, early fall would be the best. Selling any big saws?

    I say take them to the bay if you have a good enough user account (volume, feedback) that people will see you as trustworthy

    If you go local on CL unload them s-l-o-w-l-y dont flood the market
    Saws: Husky 346xpg NE, 550 xpg, 372xp, 576xp, 3120xp; Jonsered 670, Stihl MS 211, Stihl 064 [project] (coil/ignition needed)

    Other 2stroke OPE: Stihl FS 450, Stihl Km-90 (string trimmer, paddle broom, pole saw, hedge trimmer), Stihl TS 420 (cut quick), Stihl BG 85, Echo SRM 230, Redmax EBZ 7500, Husky 325HS75X

    I think you will sell for a lot more on ebay than on CL. People go bonkers on ebay, the bidding frenzy just takes over common sense. This is good for sellers. Ebay is rarely a good place for buyers, although sometimes you get lucky. The hassle is, you've got to ship and paypal will take a fee off but the price you get is better in the first place.
    I don;t think season matters for ebay.

    Sell them after Labor day on the Bay. A lot of people will be on vacation the next few weeks so they're not looking at the computer. Plus buyers are will be thinking back to school and football and such so they won't be focused on the wood pile for a month or so.

    I saw a few really nice machines go for pretty average money the last couple of weeks. If I were in the market for a saw, now seems the time to buy.

    Been there, almost done that. A first, I couldn't understand why the dude behind me was honking, waving, but most definitely not tailgating. Then I looked in my rear view mirror instead of my side mirror. I had one jumping around on the tailgate, almost ready to launch.
    Ah got me some uh them thar Huskyvarny saws!

    Yah, after labor day right up 'til 2 weeks before Christmas on eBay works well. You gotta have good feedback and know how to list a saw (just copy other successful listings; just search your item, check "completed listings" and set the box to "price + shipping, highest first"), with good, large, clear photos, and check your spelling!
    I start my Popular saws at .99 with no reserve, it generates interest, and pulls in the bids and views, saves on the listing fee as well. I wouldn't use this method on unusual items though.
    I do sell on Craigslist though, (avoids the eBay fees), there are certain items that are popular here in CT, and others that are not, (like Stihl 066 ms660 or Husky 394's, 395's) That are popular elsewhere, for those items you're better off on eBay, and most likely will be shipping 'em to Oregon or out that way where they consider a MS440/460 "a little saw".

    You could try sticking them in the classifieds on here first. I guarantee lots of saw nuts will see them. If they dont sell stick them on the bay later this fall.
    I gots too many saws to use!

    Several threads in the last 6 months with different aspects and many posters seemed to actually have some experience versus WAG.
    Saws 'n bars:Efco MT 3600 ($50 - 10", 16"), Stihl 021 (12", 16") , JD CS 62 (won here, 20", 28"), Two Stihl 660's w/ HD oilers (24", 28", 32", 42") one w/ DP muffler, one snellerized w/ muff mod, Stihl 088 (36"), Woodmizer LT10, 2 Alaskan Mark III's
    Cut logs like a bureaucrat cuts red tape, lengthwise.
    I'm looking for a 72" double ended Stihl 660 mount bar - inexpensive - anyone got one? pm me, or heck - a 6' for an 088.
    Retired but working as hard as ever.
