Just saw someone on facebook nabbed a running 090 for $100. It was offered free but he felt obliged to pay at least something.
My 090 ended up costing nothing, I bought 6 stihls for 250, kept the 090 and sold the rest off making my money back.

Scored today at the local scrap dealer, got a Husky 50 and 365 for $20, with a few hrs spent on the 365 it runs well, needs a few parts to make it complete.

I picked up an old solo twin for under $50 at an estate auction once years ago, and my dad cussed me out for overpaying. I later gave it to a friend who pestered me about it like it was the holy grail... which was sortof true.
I had no internet, no real saw knowledge, and no interest in a non-running saw.
I didn't learn what it was or what it is worth until a few years later, and now I wish I had it back.
Deals are out there, It just takes luck to find them sometimes.
sounds like you owe that “friend” a kick in the sack.

Was given this a little while back. Finally had time to tear it down and clean her up. 268XP with a 24" bar.
Did a full tear down to the piston and barrel. Good ring and barely any carbon build up on the piston. Gasket deleted and swapped in new carb. I actually have to put this thing down to start it.
