361 and a 460 for 440 bucks. Not sure if it's the best deal ever, but finally got my hands on a 361.

Here's my contribution to the "You Suck" thread. My brand new Echo CS-370 saw that I got for FREE!! Well.... Not exactly free. It was an award I got to pick for my 20th anniversary at work. Master picture taker, I am not! But my iPhone has a decent camera, so here you go.

I picked up a crushed Husky 390 that a yarder flopped over onto..for a case of beer.. Have the powerhead sold, bar was bent but had a brand new chain.. an hours work on the bar and it's perfectly straight again.

It's seen better days!

My $25 026. It wouldn't run for the previous owner, but was covered in telltale sign of a very dull chain...sawdust mixed with oil everywhere. After a little cleaning, she ran as intended.

Free 2300 (and matching 2000 not pictured).

Three bucks worth of fuel line between the two and they both run great. Since everything went so well I popped for new $4 foam air filters for each of them rather than scrounging foam and cutting to size.

Both came with good bars and decent chains but I located new shorter bars for reasonable from a member on here.

Everything is (knock on wood) working on these two saws. As soon as my new air filters arrive I will take them out to the woods for a little test running. Will definitely let you know if I need anything (or the whole thing LOL).

Been trying to get rid of it for a while lol

Been a while since I've had a good score. 029 Super, 1 owner, hasn't been touched in 10+ years he says. 16" bar & the chain is even sharp! I'm guessing all it will need is an air filter, some rubber, and a good cleaning. $50.

I don't know...California shipping has been the highest I've seen yet but it isn't very heavy unlike others. It just has a burnt up top end. I'll see if I have any pictures on my phone, if not I'll try and get them for you after work

Getting this saw brought me to this site. I think it qualifies as a you suck. My wife went to a friends house to set up for a yard sale last Friday and spotted this saw. Asked them how much they wanted for it. They said to just take it. The husband had it given to him by his father but he only used it a few times. I don't think his old man had used it much more than that. I checked it out, added gas and bar oil, and it fired right up. Came with a new chain in the box too. Not sure how old it is but it looks about brand new.

Well I finally got my Saw in and just thought I would share it here, but it is a Craftsman 5.2 that has never run in it's life.

 

[BrokenSVT]

Today's massive score.

That's an MS290 and an MS361, both complete runners; and an 046 Magnum PHO, missing the recoil starter. The 046 also has a bit of cosmetic damage from when the bucket truck it was on caught fire. Total outlay of $225.

This past weekend, I was given this 084. Included were 2 spare chains, a gallon of bar oil and a litre of Stihl 2 stroke oil:

It is in nice shape overall, but there is a little impact damage on the plastic:

It would only run a few seconds at a time. The dealer told the P.O. that it needed a carb, which is no longer available. Thanks to members here, I downloaded the appropriate technical information and received some diagnostic suggestions in another thread. I found the impulse line had popped off the barb fitting. I reattached the line, added some Seafoam to the tank, adjusted the mix and now it runs like a raped ape.

I did replace the tiny little scabbard with a full length one. And the seal around the gas cap was starting to crack. So I ordered them from my local Stihl dealer.

Grand total repair bill after taxes: $10. That would be Canadian, so about US$7.50. Does that qualify for submission to this thread?

This Year's Winner.
