Certainly holds true with their farm & ranch saws. Most folks on AS would agree that Husky ranch saws are a step above a Stihl Farm boss, the selling prices sure don't reflect it. Even worse with the smaller homeowner saws. MS-170 & 180 are regularly listed on CL for new saw prices... And they sell. Small Huskys typically fetch considerably less.
Couple exceptions 346 & 372. In truth, not many xp saws even show up on CL around here, mostly older models. Creamsicle city.
Even a basket case, box of old well worn Stihl parts will generate tons of interest. Buddy of mine owned a pawn shop nearby. Anything with a Stihl logo sold within days. He about had to give away a couple of tree service Huskys.
