I just found a local 076 up for sale that caught my eye. Looks to be in near perfect cosmetic condition, with a new Stihl 36" bar and chain. The saw supposedly starts and runs perfectly, and is ready to run.
I have looked around on eBay, and haven't been able to pinpoint a true value for this saw. I found one that has ~1 day left on the auction at $450, and it looked pretty beat up. The seller said his bottom dollar price is $500 cash. I really wouldn't mind picking up a spare big saw to save us in the event our 066 fails (like this past job). Also figured it would be a fun toy to play with. Been reading up on the threads here about the saw, and have been trying to soak up every bit of knowledge I can.
What do you guys think? Does that price sound fair? What should I look at (specifically) before buying the saw? The seller said the saw has never been rebuilt, and has been very lightly used since he bought it (just as a toy). I imagine that it might need tuned up, but what else should I look for?
