    Whats the Deal??? Used Saw Prices

    I do a bit of surfing around daily on Cl and ebay and as of lately it seems everyone has struck gold. Is it just me or is every piece of junk worth its weight in gold and anything that would be worth something priced like its made of platinum.

    It's just that time of year. Seems like clock work, as soon as it starts to get cold, the prices of saws double.
    not for hire......

    Nuttin to see here....move along.....

    market`s rules.
    as long there is someone willing to pay....why lower the prices?

    I love beavers; especially the shaved ones.

    I've noticed that, too. Ebay is very cyclical. Dec. through May is the worst time to buy, great to sell. Mid summer is where the deals are, although some desirable Macs have been stolen off ebay the last couple of weeks.

    I know that alot of people get "deals" on CL, but I have only bought 2 CL saws in my life. Last 100 or so times I've looked on CL, I didn't see any "deals".

    I've seen four 024's in our local CL in the last two weeks. Strange! Prices of $40, $80, $140 and $120, I think. Sounds pretty cheap to me!

    My local CL is usually junk box store stuff that way overpriced. Every once in awhile something good comes along but it gets snagged quick.

    I dont know if you can associate DEAL and ebay though anymore. Seems there are so many scavengers around that there arent many deals left to be had.

    There are alot of regular saw buyer/sellers on CL now, so if you don't jump on one as soon as it's listed, you'll miss it. I rarely ever look on CL, so I miss most of the "deals".
