Hey guys. I have an echo cs8000. It runs well. Only issue I know of is that the on off switch works intermittently. Can you all give me an approximate value with a 36 inch bar?
Echo cs8000 value?

A new 800p with 36" bar is $859. Do you have a compression reading?

I walked away from one locally for $150, it ran but compression was low. I think I got $250 for the one I sold last year with a 24" bar.

A 36" bar sounds like way too much on that saw.

It isn't.

I got somewhere between 3-350 for mine iirc a few years ago on eBay. Wasn't perfect but a nice running saw.
$300-350 would be my guess, to the right buyer, assuming the saw looks good and runs right.

I haven't done a compression reading on it. It looks and runs pretty well. I just didn't know how it compared monetarily to a stihl of similar size.
Decent saw and well built, but for sure not one of the best saws in their line-up. I had one for a while, and found it was OK with a 24" bar on it, but I wouldn't want to pull much more than that with it. It would do so, skip chain would help out the longer bar situation, but I can tell anyone reading this for certain, it wouldn't hold a candle to my 181SE anyplace. I kept it around here for a few years, and never found myself reaching for it for any outings to the woods to cut all day, so it went on down the road. Mine was in perfect shape, sold on Ebay for around $350 nearly as I can remember.......Cliff
