    ms 390 worth this price?

    stopped into local pawn shop for sh*ts and giggles and there was an ms390 in there.looked it over and it looked pretty well taken care of. price tag of $225. was thinkin of headin up there tomorrow with some fesh gas and a compression gage and see how it runs. iffen it all checks out ( to me anyways) is it worth it? also had an 018 for $85.

    If in good condition, it fits your needs, and you can handle the vibrations and weight, then that's a very good deal for that saw. I see used 290's on CL going for $225-250

    Only you can decide if it is worth the asking price to buy it. We can tell you whether the price is within an acceptable range, but ultimately you have to make the decision on what it is worth to you.

    That is a more than fair price as the 290 sells for more than that. On ebay they almost all go over $250 that is the MS290 so a MS390 has to be well worth $225
