The local pawn shop has a very gently used 461 wearing a 32" bar and chain. He's asking $1000 for it. Assuming that it starts, runs, idles, oils and that the piston looks good when I pull the muffler, is that a fair price or should I be looking elsewhere?

Seems a little rich to me.
$1,050 pho on the other forum. I've never owned a Stihl, but that is tempting.

You bought a WHAT???!!
New in box, with tools/manual. Shipped. That is a good deal if you're looking for a MS 462 C-M self-tuning saw, no doubt about it.
I'm not really looking, but at the same time it seems I'm always looking. Know what I mean?

I'm not really looking to ship a new MS 462 directly to a saw porter, but at the same time it seems I'm always looking. Know what I mean?
Just looking usually doesn't cost much.I'm not really looking to ship a new MS 462 directly to a saw porter, but at the same time it seems I'm always looking. Know what I mean?
Pawn shop probably bought it for $500, so they want to double their investment. Offer them $750.
