I've seen and enjoyed that video. That's a 090G which is actually only 106cc whereas the 090 is 137cc.

Just make sure you put a sign out saying "Hard Hat area"
Yeah right:notrolls2: Tell all the boys that with their 090s, 125s, etc...

Mark my words. :hmm3grin2orange:
That's ok. I figure I paid about 1/2 what this saw would have drawn a couple years ago.

Smart money looks forward, not backward. Going by 2 years ago is like trying to buy a lottery ticket for last weeks drawing.
I didn't buy it as an investment, although I don't think it was a poor one either as far as collections go. I will enjoy it reguardless.
great looking saw ! 
great looking saw !

I think the bars for those start out at 5' and work there way up from there.:hmm3grin2orange:
It sounds like you've already closed the deal but I would have said no more than $1350 on a price.
Stihl 090 = :chainsawguy:
I paid less than $1500.

Looks fantastic Brad ! I notice the muffler cover is different from any others I've seen i.e. slots facing down not out to the side like normal ? not that is important it's a 090 ! and despite other opinions still one of the most desirable saws around !!! I'll dig in and wait for the flack now ....
Im looking forward to my Contra AV and 070 Av arriving, just the sound of them ticking over makes me smile.
Look forward to your vids when you run it ?

It makes no difference how much you pay for a saw. As long as the buyer and seller are happy that is what is important.
The great thing about this transaction is that the seller is a great guy and a great member here on AS.

That does mean a lot. It takes a lot of the trepidation out of a purchase like this. I'm very happy with the agreed price and only posted this thread in the manner I did for a little fun. I don't have buyers remorse, just buyers shock, lol

Nice saw Brad, I would probably go as high as 2000$ for the right 090, but lately I find I am going for the new and faster saws, not as interested in the old torque monsters. Still a very cool saw!
I think you did the right thing, hell what's a ported 660 cost, or an 880?? The value on that thing will only go up anyway.:yourock:

:agree2::agree2::agree2:
One of the things that makes life worth living is seeing your dreams realized.
I know that you have been searching for the "right" 090 as long as I have known you and now you have it.
I agree with Andre that the value of THAT 090 will only appreciate from here, and I also agree with my buddy stipes that the pride and pleasure of ownership will soon overshadow the price that you paid for it.
You work every day and have provided your family with a VERY good lifestyle. There is no reason that you shouldn't enjoy the fruits of your labors.
Even if you had paid the full "buy it now" price (and I know you didn't) you would have gotten a bargain.
When it comes right down to it, a body can't buy a decent lawnmower for what you paid for a beautiful slice of history and the fulfillment of a dream!!!
That's a BARGAIN!!!
