550xp value?

need your opinions on what a fair price to pay for this would be
saw this at local shop
it needs a few new parts to bring it back to what it should be

Project saw=$50 or under, unless it's a bigger saw.

I personally see that as a parts saw. $20 depending on build date it may even have more problems.

$50 or less. If you’re looking for a project there are better choices out there in the 50cc range anyway.

These are buying prices. If I'm selling it's usually in the $100-$150 range for good projects.

I have never owned a husky saw and thought it might be an excuse to rebuild one. the shop has a $229 price on it it because it does run and cut. I'll let it sit in the shop and if its still there in another year or until the carb gums up and it will no longer start i'll show them a $50 bill and see if they will take it
i appreciate the good advice and will stick to picking up unwanted and unloved stihl saws that i know a little about.

50 or less, that is pretty trashed.

$299 USD for a saw that has fire damage, broken handle, cover & gawd knows what else?
If it's been "cared for" like that I'd be concerned about the engine & mechanical's for sure.

I agree with the $50 or less. I struggled to get $350 for a nice 2014 model with a brand new bar and chain. If it runs and cuts try to buy it cheap and run it as is.
