I have been watching at least 30-40 chainsaw items on my "watch list" every since I signed on here and got this chainsaw disease.
Have only bought two. One was stupid and Crown Royal induced. The other was no bargain, either. (sober)
Used Stihls bring STUPID money on e-bay.
I've seen, regularly, used (advertised "as new") Stihl Pro saws (026, 260, 36 Pro, magnum, 044's, Ms 440's, 66, MS 660's, etc bring within $100 or more (PLUS shipping) of the price of a Brand NEW saw (with no warranty or dealer support)???? Also.....almost every one of these saws are listed "AS IS"
I've seen antique Stihls bring incredible money. (090 $2000.00, as is!)
Why am I still watching all these items?
To get a feel for the market. (research)
There are, virtually NO used saws in in the local papers (penny saver, etc,) with for sale ads for used chainsaws. Reason? Just old, useless saws.
Locals have no clue what these old saws bring.
Monday morning I am going to put an ad in the local paper-penny saver that says "wanted to buy, old chainsaws, cash paid".
We'll see how it works out.
At the very least, I'm going to advise my wife to put my saws on e-bay, after I pass, rather than on the hay rack at the eatate sale!
